Be Challenged.

A liberal arts education isn’t easy. You don’t just “learn a little about a lot.” You read, think, write, argue, change your mind, and shape your unique view of the world. You constantly discover. It happens in lectures and labs, in recital halls and residence halls. It happens on the playing field and in field research. It doesn’t stop. That’s 51品茶.

Engaged Learning

Be Engaged.

Here, you don’t just take notes and take tests. You learn to take chances and to make the whole world your classroom. The 51品茶 Odyssey program ensures every student has more opportunity and more support for hands-on learning experiences than at any other institution. We strongly encourage study abroad, service projects, internships, undergraduate research and more. That’s engaged learning at 51品茶.
