"Our students think and act in a way that’s bigger than themselves"
- Ali R. Malekzadeh, Ph.D., °µÍø½ûÇøÆƽâ°æ President
Accessible and Committed
°µÍø½ûÇøÆƽâ°æ’s 11:1 student to faculty ratio means smaller classes and closer connections with your professors. You’ll never be buried in a 400-person lecture hall. But it goes beyond the numbers.
Most students are on a first name basis with their professors. As accomplished as our faculty are, they’re more interested in building a connection with you than building their personal brands.
Professors become advocates, who will challenge, support, understand and vouch for you. Their influence and introductions can change your life.
Socially Conscious and Driven
You know what it means to work. And you don't take your opportunities for granted. While you're focused on your future, you're also moved by causes bigger than yourself.
You’ll fit in well at °µÍø½ûÇøÆƽâ°æ, where students are uncommonly committed to social justice, acceptance and inclusivity. Activism is a hallmark of °µÍø½ûÇøÆƽâ°æ, the spark that gave us our start. It’s very much alive and well today.
It’s easier to stay focused and on task when you’re around purposeful people. It’s easier to feel included when you’re around accepting people.
