Why It's Different
ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø isn't your ordinary liberal arts school with a quirky academic schedule. You'll feel the difference the moment you arrive. Our campus practically hums with energy, and it comes from our students.
ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø students are a rare breed...
We pride ourselves on our intellect and innovativeness. As a community, we share a raw academic fervor and an insatiable thirst for expression, conversation, and mental stimulation. We dive in at full speed, taking just one class at a time.
...And the possibilities are defined by your capacity for imagination
The distinct rhythm of the Block Plan offers students a combination of challenge and opportunity, encouraging hands-on fieldwork, autonomous research, and in-class discussion. We love to learn, we never cram for five finals at once, and professors not only know our names, but also invite us home for dinner.
ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø isn't for everyone. But if you can rock it, you'll struggle to picture yourself anywhere else:
Choreograph and perform an original dance piece through our student-run Dance Workshop. Apply for a Venture Grant and spend a block studying sociopolitical impacts of Roman architecture in France. Immerse yourself in literature during a weeklong class retreat to our serene Baca Campus. Throw on your field ornithologist hat and investigate bird habitats in Southern Arizona.
Four blocks a semester.
Eight blocks a year.
Thirty-two at ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø.
How will you use them?
