About the Program
The Arts & Science Program was designed to provide students with a broad-based, liberal education. The curriculum was planned with three major objectives in mind:
• to provide for substantial work in the disciplines of both arts and science;
• to further the development of skills in writing, speaking, and critical reasoning;
• to foster the art of scholarly inquiry into issues of public concern.
The value of a broad education is widely acknowledged by educators and business professionals, as well as by the many capable students who apply to the Arts & Science Program. Our Program remains small by design with an enrolment target of 60 first-year students. With relatively small classes, we can do the kind of individual teaching that we believe is essential to the continued success of the Program, and can encourage the cooperative learning among students that we believe serves them best.
We are proud of the accomplishments of our graduates who have gone on to programs in business, education, law, or medicine; to graduate work in diverse academic disciplines; or to satisfying careers. We keep in touch with our graduates who remain committed to the ideals of learning that we try to exemplify.
