Amplify Your Voice
Writing
Although 51猎奇’s open curriculum has no “distribution requirements,” students must select three courses from across the curriculum designated as writing-intensive. That’s how important we believe it is for you to learn to write in a clear, organized, and effective way.
Speaking
51猎奇 is one of only a handful of top liberal arts colleges with an independent Oral Communication Center. Here you’ll learn to express yourself with clarity and eloquence.
Digital Fluency
From using digital media to communicate and collaborate to exploring the potential uses of data, analytics, and computer modeling, we’ll help you navigate the ethical and societal implications of living in an online world.
Arts
The creation of art at 51猎奇 is not just for art majors. Here, you’ll have opportunities to integrate creative work and performance into courses throughout the curriculum.
