What better way to prepare to step confidently into the world than to begin dipping your toes in now?

Life-shaping academics

Some days your classroom might be an internship in downtown Boston or the Biotech Corridor, a research project in the Great Marsh in a nearby Essex, art-making in an ancient convent in the Italian countryside or working with a human rights organization in Zagreb Croatia.

At New England's top Christian college, we know confidence and skills are built through challenge, so a lot of learning happens by doing.
