Closing the Inequity Gap
Our inclusive class models create tightly knit communities of students who influence each other’s success, and most students are involved in research as part of their program requirements.
We have a culture that values diversity and promotes respect and inclusion. We produce scholars and practitioners who are prepared to make meaningful changes in our local, national, indigenous, and internal communities.
Our graduates become leaders in education and human sciences who change lives and improve outcomes for individuals and systems.
First-Year Interest Groups (FIGs) bring students with similar interests together. Each FIG is unique and tailored to explore an exciting academic theme while helping students acclimate to campus both academically and socially. There are seven themes to choose from, and with over 50 FIGs offered each fall there is something for everyone!
Academic Residential Communities are programs created by University Housing to help students find a community based around shared interests and passions for inquiry. Each year University Housing offers different ARCs. They vary and include such options as a focus on leadership in business, and live-in immersive language halls.
