Where will you shine your light?

Will you shine your light in our world-class College of Arts & Sciences or award-winning Conservatory of Music, or maybe both? Perhaps you’ll study abroad in Ireland or intern at Google. Whatever your path, we’ll help you shine inside and outside the classroom.

Along the way, you’ll learn from your professors and your peers in small classes that help you dive deep and tackle tough questions. Whether you’re researching bats in the Philippines, perfecting a sign language opera performance, or developing a business plan to pitch, dedicated faculty will help guide and inspire your creativity as you pursue high-impact learning experiences.
