Academic Programs

At BW, you aren’t a number. But you will experience a number of learning opportunities that position you for post-graduation plans­–graduate school, a career, service initiative or something else.

Igniting your passion and potential

Pushing boundaries, unearthing new discoveries and questioning current practices­—these are what makes learning dynamic. At BW, we offer a community of learning where creativity is ignited, studies are collaborative and career connections are made.

Our professors are scholars, practitioners and artists with impressive academic credentials and real-world insights and skills. You'll learn from professors—not graduate students—whose primary responsibility is teaching. Through mentoring, advising and small classes, you’ll get to know your professors as individuals who care about you and your goals.

Preparing you for a rapidly changing world

Bridging the knowledge of today with the innovative ideas of tomorrow is at the heart of our liberal arts-focused education. Through rigorous coursework, leading research opportunities and rewarding internship experiences, you’ll gain the knowledge and confidence to tackle real-world challenges as you create your own career niche.
