University Studies Program

USP AND THE COMMUNITY

The University Studies Program is a high-value, high-impact, efficient general education program designed to take students’ learning to a new plateau in their all-important quest toward a degree and fulfilling career.

The USP provides students with opportunities to gain experiences in small learning communities and civic engagement projects that will prepare them for the challenges of work, for engaged citizenship and for a meaningful and satisfying life. These projects also help students develop leadership and soft skills, which they can point to when applying for jobs.
