Like every other college in your growing pile of brochures, we want you to know who we are.  But at AIC we think it is much more important to understand who you are - and what you want.  Do you want personal attention and incredible support from your professors? Do you want a school where creativity and flexibility rule - where how things could be is just as important as how things are? Do you want the kind of training that stresses internships and experience, makes employers take notice and makes any future possible? Do you want a college that has renowned programs in arts and sciences, business, criminal justice, education, health care and more? Do you want to live with, learn with (and learn from) students representing every corner of the country and every ethnic, cultural and economic slice of the American pie - not to mention 28 countries? Do you want a comfortable campus in a not-too-big, not-too-small city? Then you are in luck! 

American International College is an accredited, four-year, coeducational, urban college in Springfield, Massachusetts; founded in 1885.  AIC is top-quality, student-centered education, guided by experienced faculty (one for every 15 students) who are respected in their fields - and who are totally devoted, 24/7 to teaching.  Our faculty includes a former executive producer of NBC Nightly News and a former prosecuting attorney for Hampden (Mass.) County.  Each of the College's accounting department faculty members is a certified public accountant.  Faculty from our nursing, occupational therapy and physical therapy departments continue as practitioners.  Our education department faculty includes several who have been school superintendents, principals and classroom teachers.  Our students benefit by learning from teachers who care about the success of each student and who enrich the quality of their teaching by bringing their professional experiences to the classroom. 

Internships 

American International College students are often at an advantage in their job search because of the experiences they have had in College-Sponsored internships. Experiential learning is valued at AIC. While many majors require some off-campus learning experience, all majors offer some type of an internship.  Students have interned at such places as Disney World, Pitney Bowes, ESPN, Channel 22 (NBC affiliate), Yellowstone National Park, Hampden County District Attorney's Office, Morgan Stanley, Baystate Medical Center and hundreds of others.  

The AIC Campus 

The AIC campus combines the excitement and access of an urban campus with the privacy and beauty typically associated with a suburban campus. Our 26 buildings are situated on 60 acres. Among our most notable facilities is the 36,000-sq. ft. Health Science Complex, which includes state-of-the-art classrooms, a beautiful amphitheatre and several labs (including the only anatomical lab in Massachusetts, other than those at medical schools) the Karen Sprague Cultural Arts Center and the Esther B. Griswold Theatre for the Performing Arts; the James J. Shea, Jr. Memorial Library; and the Butova and Metcalf Gymnasiums.  There are six residence halls, each wired for Internet, cable television and telephone access. 

Affordable Excellence 

AIC offers a quality education at an affordable price.  A generous financial aid program allows us to offer over 80% of our student's financial aid with the average total package being around $14,000. Our institutional financial aid includes need-based grants, academic and merit scholarship and athletic scholarships in some sports.

Augsburg College

Minneapolis, MN

Experts say that any way you measure it, a college degree is the best investment in one's life. And, an Augsburg College education is more than just a degree - it provides a blueprint for life. Augsburg is a place where you can be yourself while you learn and grow.

As a model of Lutheran education and 21st-century higher learning, Augsburg is a study in diversity, locality, spirituality, and, ultimately, opportunity. While Augsburg has more than 50 undergraduate majors and six master's degree programs, it's what lies beyond the classroom that prepares students for both their careers and lives of service.

·        It's a liberal arts perspective spanning across business and language, to service and artistic expression, and beyond.

·        It's small classes, all taught by professors who also become your advisers and mentors.

·        It's internships, service-learning experiences, and research that augment the academic with the practical.

·        It's dynamic opportunity for study abroad through a nationally recognized Center for Global Education.

·        It's support for students with physical, psychological, or learning disabilities through dedicated programs that encourage independence and success.

·        It's pioneering leadership in multicultural student services through American Indian, Pan-Afrikan, Pan-Asian, and Hispanic/Latino programs. 

Augsburg also is defined by a unique juxtaposition: a small, intimate campus inside a vibrant, metropolitan community. The college capitalizes on this setting by drawing on and contributing to the resources of the city as an extension of campus and classroom.

At the same time, Augsburg students participate in an abundance of cultural and recreational activities.  Theatre, dance, music, the visual arts, sports, outdoor activities, parks, and the Cities' famous lakes are just minutes from the campus. 

More than 50 on-campus clubs and organizations ranging from academic societies and music to campus ministry and athletics also give students opportunity for involvement, entertainment, and personal growth. And, as a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Augsburg maintains a spiritual commitment shaped by Christian values without requiring religious conformity. In fact, students come to Augsburg from virtually every faith and walk of life. Spirituality at Augsburg means more than religion. It also means concern for others, reflected by our students and graduates alike who match their talents, education, eagerness, and service to the needs and greater good of the community.

More than 80 percent of Augsburg students receive financial aid, many up to or exceeding 50 percent of the total cost, to help make an Augsburg education affordable. An experienced and knowledgeable financial services staff are there from the beginning to provide individual counseling so students and their families can make informed choices about how to finance a private college education.

Though Chatham, founded in 1869, is one of the oldest women's colleges in the United States, the College is constantly evolving and introducing new programs and initiatives to prepare World Ready Women for life after graduation.

One such program, the Five-Year Masters Program, allows students to graduate with both a bachelor's and a master's degree in only five years.  As a first-year undergraduate, students can apply and be conditionally accepted into one of Chatham's graduate degree programs, and will begin graduate-level courses during their senior year.

Another new initiative is the College's PC tablet program.  Each first-year student receives a HP Compaq Tablet PC which she will then own upon graduation.  Faculty members have incorporated the tablets into the curriculum for in-class note-taking, researching, and online learning. 

Finally, the College announced that it would no longer require standardized test scores for undergraduate admissions.  In order to create a more individualized admissions process to reflect Chatham's individualized academic experience, the College will allow undergraduate applicants to submit graded test papers, high school GPA, and portfolios in lieu of ACT or SAT scores.

Chatham's campus has also gone through significant changes in the past few years. With completion of a new Athletic and Fitness Center (AFC), the College converted its old gymnasium into a new Art and Design Center, featuring fine and applied art studios, a computer lab, and classroom space, as well as gallery and student exhibition space.  The AFC is an advanced four-level athletic facility designed as a multi-purpose center for the entire campus.  It includes a fitness center, squash courts, climbing wall, jogging track, eight-lane competition swimming pool, and a smoothie bar. 

Chatham College provides its more than 1,700 students - both undergraduate and graduate - with a solid education built upon strong academics, public leadership and global perception.  Chatham also offers graduate studies, continuing education and certification programs for women and men.  Chatham students may register for classes at any of Pittsburgh's eight other colleges and universities including Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh.

BOLDLY CHRISTIAN. UNQUESTIONABLY ACADEMIC.

     Never in our history have we faced times of greater need for Christian leadership in our homes, on our campuses, in our businesses and in our government. As the national university of arts, sciences and professions of the Assemblies of God, Evangel's focus for over 50 years has been on training young people for these leadership positions.

Today, more than 27,000 alumni are serving around the world, including such prominent graduates as Admiral Vernon Clark, Chief of U.S. Naval Operations (retired); Congressman Todd Tiahrt (R-Kan.); and Richard Grenell, spokesperson for the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.

Evangel has a strong reputation for academic excellence, offering more than 100 undergraduate programs, as well as graduate programs in Leadership, Psychology and Education. Its staff, curriculum and campus activities focus is on assisting students in the integration of their Christian faith into their chosen career fields.

Evangel is a residential university. Approximately 75 percent of our students live on campus in modern residence halls. The University draws students from all 50 states and many foreign countries.  

COMMUNITY/REGIONAL INFORMATION:

Evangel is nearing the end of an extensive campus renovation and development program, with a focus on students' needs for the new millennium. Since 1997, seven major construction projects have been completed, including two three-story academic buildings, a student fitness center, a student union complex, and the massive Barnett Fine Arts Center.

Springfield was recently named one of "America's 10 Best Places to Live and Work" based on its "thriving economy, first-rate education and superior health care." Employment opportunities are ample. The metro population is more than 155,000, and major cities such as St. Louis and Kansas City are just a three-hour drive.

For those interested in outdoor activities, Springfield is surrounded by the beautiful Ozark Mountain country, featuring lakes and streams for fishing, and parks and trails for hiking. It is the home of the Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World, and the family-oriented theme parks and music shows of Branson, Missouri, are less than an hour away.

Springfield is a college town, with five other colleges and universities nearby. In addition, the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary is adjacent to the Evangel campus. 

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS

Ministry Groups:

Evangel's student ministry organization, CROSSwalk, sponsors ministry groups and organizes a variety of missions trips each year. In addition, choral and instrumental groups under the auspices of Evangel's Music Department tour nationally and overseas. Each spring, the Science and Technology Department sponsors a medical missions trip to Central/South America or Africa.

Clubs:

More than 40 organized clubs, 10 honor societies and a variety of musical ensembles and student government activities are available for student participation. Students can develop their creative skills by becoming involved in Evangel's nationally recognized student publications, as well as the campus radio and television stations.

Other:

Activities are also planned by student government, residence halls and academic departments. The intramural sports program provides opportunities to participate in voluntary sports activities. Internship opportunities within the students' career fields are available through Project Envision (see http://www.evangel.edu/).

Geneva College is a Christian liberal arts college located about 50 miles north of Pittsburgh.

Founded in 1848 by the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America, Geneva has majors in both liberal arts and pre-professional programs, offering both undergraduate and graduate degrees. 

Geneva's faculty seek to provide a challenging education that prepares students for careers, for further education and for life. Faculty in all departments - from engineering to English, from business to biology - are knowledgeable in their fields, are engaging teachers and are adept at helping students to engage learning with a Christian perspective.  As importantly, they are equally and wholly committed to students, because we believe that efforts to develop godly wisdom are best done in the context of personal relationships.

In all fields of study, students are challenged to explore the far-reaching implications of the Christian faith on their discipline. Academics at Geneva are based on a simple assumption: that the world belongs to God. This means that each course at Geneva is an exploration of a particular aspect of life in a world that resounds with God's grace in Jesus Christ, but which is also affected by human sinfulness. It means that each field of study is an opportunity to pursue God's calling in learning how to serve wisely and faithfully in God's world. And it means that we challenge students every day in and out of the classroom to develop keen insight in discerning how life in God's world is best lived.

Geneva is a Christian college in the Reformed tradition. The college seeks to prepare students to serve Christ and the world in all areas of society, including work, family and the church. 

Geneva is a founding member of the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU).

Grace College wants students to succeed, and whatever success means to you, we're prepared to help you get there. And, with our new accelerated degree, you can get there faster.

A compressed curricular schedule allows you to take fewer classes at a time, avoiding overload and maximizing your educational experience. We want you to get the most from your education, and that doesn't simply mean more class time; it means we provide a richer learning experience. Since we emphasize applied learning, each degree includes "real life" learning opportunities, like internships and study abroad.

            You can enter your career, earn a living, and make real influence one year sooner - without sacrificing learning. That's because Grace is committed not only to academic excellence, but also to its foundational roots; we won't compromise our dedication to biblical community or the authority of Scripture.

Grace College is an evangelical Christian community of higher education which applies biblical values in strengthening character, sharpening competence, and preparing for service.  The academic, residential, athletic, and social aspects of the college are designed to encourage intellectual and spiritual growth in a supportive campus community.  Grace offers 45 majors and is home to 15 athletic teams. The 165-acre campus is located in the historic resort town of Winona Lake, Ind. It is among the top schools of its size and listed in the 2009 U.S. News & World Report as one of America's Best Colleges.  The Princeton Review has regularly awarded it the title of a "Best Midwestern College."

Huntington University is a comprehensive Christian university of the liberal arts, offering graduate and undergraduate programs in more than 70 academic concentrations. Founded in 1897 by the United Brethren in Christ denomination, HU has grown to over 1000 from around the world educating men and women to "impact their world for Christ" through scholarship and service. The school recently established several new programs, including undergraduate degrees in nursing, digital media arts, Spanish, economics and finance, political studies, recreation and sports ministry, social work, and worship leadership. U.S. News & World Report consistently ranks Huntington among the top baccalaureate colleges in the Midwest. Since 2008, Huntington has been named a "best values college" by U.S. News. In 2009, Forbes.com listed Huntington as the top-ranked member of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, an international association of Christ-centered schools. Princeton Review selected Huntington as a "Best in the Midwest" institution in 2009 and 2010.

With low student-faculty ratio, students gain individualized instruction from outstanding faculty. Several students and faculty collaborate together in professional research. Huntington offers a number of study-abroad opportunities through the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities and houses the Huntington University Enterprise Resource Center (ERC), a "connector" between the university and area businesses, not-for-profit organizations, social service agencies, churches and local governments. The ERC provides meaningful "real-world" experiences for Huntington University students, while helping area entities to grow and prosper. Among its notable learning facilities is Huntington University's largest building, a 90,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art Science Hall that houses the Division of Natural and Mathematical Sciences.

Your Future in the Making

Lawrence Technological University is a private, accredited university focused on providing superior education through cutting-edge technology, small class sizes, and innovative programs. Lawrence Tech enrolls nearly 5,000 students in more than 50 associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs in Colleges of Architecture and Design, Arts and Sciences, Engineering, and Management.

Improving services that drive student accomplishment and achievement is both the tradition and the aspiration that distinguishes Lawrence Tech. The University is currently building the A. Alfred Taubman Student Services Center, which will consolidate all student support services - from Admissions through Career Services - into a convenient one-stop center. This innovative center, to be completed by fall 2005, will utilize many of the latest energy-efficient and environmentally friendly designs and technologies, serving as a living laboratory for students.

Founded in 1932, Lawrence Tech is committed to providing students the latest advancements in technology. Michigan's first university to offer students wireless laptop access from anywhere within its academic cluster, Lawrence Tech provides powerful, custom-configured laptops to all undergraduates.

The University is involved in a number of innovative research partnerships with industry and government. Faculty and students are designing and will soon build a photovoltaic demonstration system that will convert the sun's rays into enough energy to power a large ranch-style home, thanks to a grant from the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Growth. The photovoltaic system will provide important hands-on experience to students in the University's alternative energy program.

Students will also assess and study the operation of a new hydrogen technology park, a five-year pilot project developed by DTE Energy. The first and largest facility of its type in the world, the hydrogen technology park will give Lawrence Tech students opportunities to study the extraction of hydrogen from water for storage and distribution, hydrogen refueling, and power generation using fuel cell technology.

Focusing on leadership through theory and practice, Lawrence Tech seeks to help students understand not only why something should work, but also how it works in real life situations. Consequently, many programs encourage students to participate in professional projects in which they solve real problems facing practicing architects, engineers, managers, and scientists. Through co-op, part-time work, internships, student projects, and participation in professional organizations, students network with leaders in their chosen fields.

Faculty members combine top academic credentials with successful industry experience, exposing students to the practical applications of theory in professional fields. Professors, not graduate assistants, teach all classes. This distinction, along with a 12:1 student-to-faculty ratio, allows for individual attention and close interaction between students and faculty.

Lawrence Tech's modern 120-acre campus in suburban Southfield provides a full range of academic facilities. Some 600 students live on campus in two residence halls, and nearly 40 student clubs and organizations are available to meet the interests of a diverse student population. These include intramural and club sports, sororities, fraternities, religious organizations, campus publications, student government, and honor and professional societies.

The University also offers convenient programs at Education Centers in southeastern and northern Michigan, as well as international programs in Canada, China, Germany, Mexico, and Taiwan.

Each year, Lawrence Tech's Office of Financial Aid helps approximately 70 percent of students receive financial assistance, which totals nearly $25 million annually. Scholarships are available on both a scholastic and need basis.

The year was 1968, and many females who were pursuing professional endeavors were doing so either as teachers, nurses, or secretaries. However, one woman took a different path to success, as an entrepreneur, and has since made a difference in thousands of people's lives - men and women, alike.

When Jean Baron opened the Long Island Business Institute in Commack, New York, there were seven students, eleven typewriters, and she was the teacher.

Thirty-five years later, Mrs. Baron still is at the helm of the school she founded, having brought it to collegiate status eight years ago. That move has brought LIBI to the point of two campuses (Commack and Flushing), with a total staff of just under 100 and combined student enrollment of 750 pursuing Associate Degree, Diploma and Certificate Programs. Yet, with this growth, LIBI's quaintness, intimacy and the one-on-one relationships between students and faculty that have been carefully molded and have been the school's trademark since Day One remain to this very day, and the rapport is now stronger than ever.

Many of the options that LIBI gives its students are educational opportunities in fields that are in high demand, including Accounting, Administrative Assistant, Billing and Coding, Business Management, Computer Applications, Court Reporting, Legal Secretarial, Medical Secretarial, Medical Transcription, Notary Public, Office Technology, and Title Closing.  Each program has its own specific nuances that bring its individual desirability to the table.

For instance, take the Court Reporting Program. LIBI is one of only three schools in the state of New York, one of only six in the geographic region from Massachusetts to Pennsylvania and one of only 69 schools in the United States and Canada that are approved by the National Court Reporters Association. This makes the students who complete this program part of the low supply/high demand equation, leading to unlimited job opportunities and high salaries.  Come to our college and enroll in any of our two year Associate Degree Programs, which include Accounting, Administrative Assistant, Business Management and Office Technology or the two semester Diploma Programs in Legal and Medical Secretarial, Medical Transcription, and a one semester Computer Applications Certificate Program.

And as diversified as the curriculum offerings are, the same can be said for the student population. From recent high school graduates and those who have completed college and are still unsure of what they want to do, to people who have been down-sized, to single mothers who now have to support themselves, and parents who want to alleviate the empty-nest syndrome, each student is treated as an individual, with all receiving the same care, compassion and concern.

The College

Marian University is a Catholic university dedicated to excellent teaching and learning in the Franciscan and liberal arts traditions. We welcome students of all faiths who seek an educational experience framed within the context of our Franciscan values of dignity of the individual, peace and justice, reconciliation, and responsible stewardship. Marian University grew out of the dedication and vision of Sister Theresa Hackelmeier and the Sisters of St. Francis, who established the school in Oldenburg, Indiana, in 1851. Marian University moved to Indianapolis in 1937.

Our Location

Marian University is located in the heart of Indianapolis, Indiana - one of America's largest and most vibrant metropolitan areas. Although we're only ten minutes from downtown, our safe, beautiful campus is also perfect for people who enjoy peace and quiet.

At Milwaukee School of Engineering, theory is brought to life and reinforced for students through extensive integration of laboratory experimentation.

Mount Mercy College offers strong academics and career connections

Perfectly located in one of the most vibrant small cities in the Midwest, Mount Mercy provides an affordable, Catholic, coeducational, student-focused baccalaureate education in the spirit of the Sisters of Mercy. With an enrollment of around 1500 students, faculty members are able to provide the personal attention students deserve.

The hallmark of Mount Mercy is outstanding teaching. The faculty includes 151 full- and part-time professors, among them Fulbright award-winners, nationally recognized artists, published researchers and authors. Students learn directly from professors rather than teaching assistants. Small classes allow for an interactive learning experience.

Mount Mercy helps students prepare for their future by becoming well-rounded individuals educated to the goals of using reflective judgment, engaging in strategic communication, serving the common good, and promoting purposeful living. Eighty percent of Mount Mercy students are in professional programs including business, education and nursing.  Many students choose to double major combining professional study with popular liberal arts majors such as English, history, political science, psychology, or sociology.

The Cedar Rapids metro area (pop. 180,000) is a rich source of opportunity for students. Mount Mercy faculty members have developed strong connections with professionals in the area, making them excellent resources for students looking for internship and career opportunities.

Mount Mercy's Career Development office provides students with a vast career library, graduate school information, regular job bulletins, assistance with career search and development, workshops, mock interviews and a resume referral program. Alumni are paired with students in the Mount Mercy Mentoring Program according to the student's field of interest. This allows for job shadowing and networking in the community.

The essence of Mount Mercy is the welcoming tradition of the college sponsors, the Sisters of Mercy; individuals of all faiths are welcome at Mount Mercy. Mass is offered weekly in the Chapel of Mercy and interdenominational services and fellowship are offered on Wednesday nights. Campus Ministry supports student-led service learning trips to Appalachia, inner-city Chicago and Mexico. Each of Mount Mercy's student clubs and organizations participates in service activities ranging from adopting families at Christmas, to planting prairie grass, to serving meals in local soup kitchens.

Extracurricular activities at Mount Mercy are considered part of the learning experience. The faculty and staff believe the college experience is enriched by balancing academic pursuits with outside interests. From athletics to student government to the arts, and with more than 30 clubs and organizations, campus life offers a kaleidoscope of activities. The student newspaper, the Mount Mercy Times is published weekly. Mount Mercy athletic teams are part of the Midwest Classic Conference and compete very successfully at the NAIA Division III level. Intercollegiate sports include men's and women's basketball, golf, soccer, cross-county, and track and field; men's baseball; and women's softball and volleyball.

Preparing Women to Lead for more than 160 years

Excellence in academics
With a challenging academic atmosphere and a strong support system, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College is recognized as a proven leader in educating women for professional roles. The College offers more than 30 majors, a wide selection of courses, International Exchange program, extensive career development resources and opportunities to cross-enroll in courses at nearby institutions.

SMWC's highly personalized liberal arts education is designed to last a lifetime and to provide students with the flexibility and confidence necessary to succeed in an ever-changing world. Through small, seminar-style classes, hands-on learning opportunities and one-on-one tutorials with professors, students become self-directed learners with the ability to think critically, solve problems and communicate effectively.

Leadership opportunities
SMWC offers a vibrant campus environment with exceptional opportunities for students to get involved. Approximately 30 campus organizations, including academic clubs, honorary societies, performing groups, campus publications, student government and special-interest clubs and organizations, are available for students with varying interests. If a club or organization does not exist to meet a student's interests, she is encouraged to work with the Student Development staff to create a new club.

SMWC values intellectual development while emphasizing students' social, emotional and physical development as well. Involvement in campus clubs and organizations helps students to develop valuable skills-teamwork, leadership, and communication-that are important in any career. SMWC prides itself on giving students every opportunity to achieve success, to redefine the possible, and to determine their own path.

Tradition and innovation
Founded in 1840 by Blessed Mother Theodore Guerin and five other Sisters of Providence, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College is the oldest Catholic liberal arts college for women in the United States.

People visiting SMWC for the first time are impressed not only by our picturesque 67-acre campus, but also because we provide what many women are looking for in a college: a rich liberal arts education, affordability, an ideal location in the Midwest, individual attention, a rich experience for both residents and commuters, a value-centered education in a Catholic tradition, quality athletic programs, and a wide variety of student leadership activities.

SMWC has also established itself as a leader in preparing and educating women. SMWC was the first women's college to offer courses in journalism and the first to offer degree work in secondary education. This tradition continues today as academic offerings are constantly being updated to keep pace with demands in society.

Strength in diversity
Since its founding 160 years ago, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College has been a place where women who recognize the value of learning from people of diverse ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds come to learn about themselves, their neighbors, and the world at large.

The College is committed to providing women with a challenging academic environment, leadership and volunteer opportunities, field experiences, and strong heritage and traditions. Students are encouraged to think across disciplinary boundaries, take intellectual and creative risks and blend their academic experiences with their own values, beliefs and concerns. By combining a challenging and fulfilling academic atmosphere with a heightened awareness of the strength found in diversity, SMWC prepares women for a lifetime of leading, learning, working and serving the world.

Athletics
SMWC students have a reputation for excelling in the classroom, but they are also known for their hard work and efforts on the field, the court, and in the arena. The College fields teams in basketball, soccer and softball through the United States Collegiate Athletic Association, and The Woods also has an equestrian team that competes in the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association.

Whatever the sport, SMWC is dedicated to promoting athletic excellence and sportsmanship. All teams have achieved significant levels of success, including the equestrian team, which finished as high as seventh in the IHSA National Competition, and the softball team, which has won national championships four out of the last seven years.

Affordable private education
Because the rising cost of education is a significant consideration for many students and their families when selecting a college, SMWC has made a major commitment to making a private education affordable. In fact, the College thrives today as one of the most affordable Catholic colleges for women from the Northeast through the Midwest.

With more than 90 percent of SMWC students receiving financial aid, the College offers a variety of financial aid options that include merit-based scholarship, need-based grants, activity-based scholarships and grants, state and federal aid, work-study, and loans. To be considered for all types of financial aid, students are encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Seattle Pacific University students, faculty, and alumni are bringing knowledge, skill, faith, and hope to communities worldwide. They're serving disadvantaged youth in South Africa, developing computer languages for the Internet, practicing law in the inner city, and creating nutrition programs for senior citizens.

They're also working in churches, raising families, and participating in public life. In short, they're "engaging the culture, changing the world." One of the few comprehensive Christian universities located in a major urban center, Seattle Pacific is uniquely able to equip students for high-impact roles in today's world.

Scholarship with a difference

Seattle Pacific has been designated one of "America's Best Colleges" by U.S. News & World Report and selected one of the country's "Character Building Colleges" by the Templeton Foundation.

Small classes allow you to interact with faculty members, gaining the confidence to express your ideas and pursue academic goals. Students can choose from 54 majors, including some not found in other Christian universities.

The results are exciting. In 2006, 100 percent of SPU's premed students were accepted to medical schools. Our $28 million science facility is enhancing SPU students' preparation for careers in science, teacher education, and health-related professions. The $5.4 million renovation of Otto Miller Hall enhanced student learning in physics, engineering, mathematics, and computer science.

Informed by faith

Seattle Pacific's clear Christian commitment brings depth to the classroom, linking the growth of academic competence with the formation of personal character. The University helps students graduate with a deep, thoughtful faith - and the desire for Christian leadership and service.

Urban options and natural wonders

Seattle Pacific University uses the city of Seattle as a multifaceted classroom. Hundreds of valuable internships give students real-world experience in such diverse places as Microsoft, Boeing, KING-TV, the Seattle Opera, and the Seattle Mariners. Because of its natural assets, the Pacific Northwest region offers unparalleled recreational opportunities, including hiking, skiing, boating, and scuba diving.

Saint Michael's College is a residential Catholic liberal arts college committed to creating a life-changing educational experience for students from throughout New England, the nation and the world.

Situated on 440 scenic acres overlooking Burlington and Lake Champlain, with superlative views of Vermont's Green Mountains, Saint Michael's combines the bustle of a busy college town with the splendor and challenge of a spectacular four-season wilderness. Living on campus involves some 1900 undergraduate students in a community characterized by lifelong volunteer service, global perspectives and exceptional teaching in traditional arts and sciences as well as contemporary fields of study.  Saint Michael's is further enriched by 200 international students in the School of International Studies, one of the nation's oldest intensive English language institutes.

With a student-faculty ratio of 13:1, students are ensured personal attention from their professors, nearly 90 percent of whom hold Ph.D.s or the terminal degree in their field. 

"Community" is as much verb as noun for students at Saint Michael's, which has been named a "Character Building College" by the Templeton Foundation. Saint Michael's was founded in 1904 by the Society of Saint Edmund, a French order of priests known for living their commitment to social justice and for keeping a passion for service alive by making it a core value of this college, the one and only Edmundite college in the world. Today, more than 70 percent of the student body actively pursues community service projects at Saint Michael's through M.O.V.E., Mobilization of Volunteer Efforts, an office of the Edmundite Campus Ministry.

With nearly 95 percent of undergraduates living on campus, residential life is designed to encourage immersion in academic pursuits, co-curricular activities and the pure enjoyment of the college years and the Vermont experience. Housing choices range from the traditional dormitory to townhouse-style apartments, from GREAT housing for those desiring completely substance-free environments to themed housing in which student groups meld a service project into their living space, and use that space to teach others about their project. The newest living space on campus, Cashman Hall, is a 124-bed suite-style residence hall designed to incorporate technologically rich, small group discussion areas into the living quarters to further integrate living and learning environments. Two additional new residence halls are planned in the near future and will help the College move toward a goal of 100 percent on-campus living.

Through diverse curricular offerings, excellent teaching, and engaged learning we develop in our students the habits of analytic thought, aesthetic insight, imagination, ethical sensitivity, and clarity of expression. We choose to maintain an enrollment of approximately 1,250 students and a 12:1 student-to-faculty ratio. Two-thirds of all WC classes have twenty or fewer students making it easy for students and their professors to engage in the exchange of information and ideas. Our graduates leave us prepared for admission to graduate and professional schools, able to pursue a wide variety of career options, and ready for lives of responsible citizenship and personal fulfillment.

Our 112-acre campus is in historic Chestertown, on Maryland's Eastern Shore.  We are situated in a county with more than 200 miles of water front including a beautiful stretch along the Chester River just a short walk from campus. Location is everything and ours is in the very heart of the Chesapeake Bay region, forty-five minutes from Annapolis and ninety minutes from Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C.

WC has over 60 student clubs and 15 NCAA-III varsity sports. Most students stay on-campus over the weekend to participate in various social and recreational activities. Approximately 30% of students attend graduate school in the first year following graduation and approximately 45% do so within five years.
