Whatever your major, your professors bring their expertise and their professional connections to you ― giving you hands-on experience and networking opportunities.

Small class sizes create opportunities for mentorship. And from these relationships with faculty and staff, many students get involved in research and community service, which helps them get a head-start on building their portfolios and work experience.
