Criminology and Criminal Justice and Gender and Women’s Studies

Criminology and Criminal Justice

Landscape Architecture

“I appreciate how interconnected my education has been, each course seeming to overlap with others.”

English

History and Political Science

“I think a liberal arts education gives someone a great opportunity to take initiative and seek to study problems that they see in their everyday lives, rather than follow a rigid curriculum.”

Economics, Philosophy, and Political Science

“I am most proud of the confidence I have cultivated in my voice… With confidence in my voice came clarity in my direction, to which end countless opportunities were offered by the community.”

History

Political Science

Applied Mathematics

Applied Mathematics and Physics

“The Physics and Math Departments are filled with high quality teachers willing to help you as an individual in very personal and effective way.”

Landscape Architecture

“I was able to work alongside professionals in the field related to landscape architecture. I was able to get hands-on experience that helped me further my classroom knowledge and apply it to the real world.”

Landscape Architecture

“Every time I take a class that seemingly has no connection to landscape architecture, I find myself applying concepts from that class to my work. It allows me to think differently. I have learned that there is no such thing as an irrelevant class.”
