Campus Life Intimate campus environment with a tight-knit community feel. Most students live on campus, creating strong social connections.

Typical students are academically motivated, interested in personal growth, and drawn to hands-on learning experiences. Strong emphasis on community engagement and interdisciplinary studies.
Academics Known for strong undergraduate programs with low student-to-faculty ratios, enabling personalized academic support. Notable strengths in health sciences, business, education, and environmental studies. Curriculum emphasizes experiential learning, internships, and close faculty mentorship.
Athletics & Sports NCAA Division III athletics with competitive programs in sports like basketball, soccer, and volleyball. Strong emphasis on student-athlete academic performance. Campus athletic culture is supportive and inclusive, with sports serving as a way to build community rather than dominate social life.
