This Is Why

Not every path is straight and narrow.

We prepare the explorers and the constantly curious—those whose dreams won’t fit into a one-size-fits-all degree. Our students are game changers and explorers. They are not afraid to ask big questions. They believe they can change the world. And they often do.

Our faculty are leaders in their fields. Groundbreakers and creatives. Questioners of the status quo.

Together, our faculty and students form an extraordinary teaching and learning community at the heart of one of the world’s best universities.
