Academic Distinctives
Freshman Seminars are taught by experienced faculty members who are recognized as outstanding teachers. Though the topics of the seminars are varied, they are all designed to give new freshmen the tools they need to transition from high school to college and to build strong relationships between the students and their professors and upperclassmen who serve as their "Cru Leaders."
The Honors Program offers academically gifted students opportunities to enroll in special courses with equally talented students and take part in special programs designed to stimulate their intellectual curiosity and social awareness. Honors students who complete a senior research project in their majors have the opportunity to graduate magna cum laude or summa cum laude.
Study Abroad Programs offer a growing number of ways for students to include an international travel experience as a part of their coursework. Opportunities range from a full semester in the London Studies Program to one-week study trips to locations in Europe, South America, Africa, and the Middle East. Study abroad scholarships are offered to encourage broad participation in these programs.
Fine Arts Experiences give students the chance to experience a wide variety of artistic expressions by attending campus programs related to art or music. Recognizing that no education is complete without a familiarity and understanding of the arts, the core curriculum requires undergraduates to attend one fine arts program each semester.
