Academics
Think Wide Open isn’t just a tag line.
It’s how we approach everything we do.
Fifty years ago, we started a grand
experiment: to be a different kind of college.
Blending the arts, sciences, and humanities on a single campus, our goal was to create a living laboratory where students from all disciplines live and work side by side.
Where a chance meeting might lead to a new and exciting collaboration. Where creativity underlies everything. Where a fearless, do-it-yourself attitude leads to real accomplishment.
Prepare to lead a life, not simply making a living.
