Experience Academic Excellence

I was blown away by the amount of resources here – not only physically on the campus, but also within our faculty. The professors don’t just teach us and go home; they are doing a lot of great work and research within their discipline, and they include students in that – and that’s what I’ve really valued. Faculty offer opportunities to learn outside of class all the time, which makes what we’re learning in class applicable and easier to understand.
