Institutes

Principia’s institutes extend learning beyond coursework, helping students develop skills and deepen their understanding of a variety of topics.

Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation

The Principia College Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation—Principia’s newest institute—seeks to promote and inspire entrepreneurial spirit on campus. Its multidisciplinary approach encourages collaboration and creativity. Through the center, you can join start-up challenges, attend talks by renowned entrepreneurs, and participate in workshops covering design thinking, prototyping, business planning, launching, and obtaining financial grants. The center is supported by Don (US'64, C'68) and Christina (C'66) Koch and by the College’s 50th Reunion Classes of 1966 and 1967.

Center for Sustainability

Become an agent of change on campus and in the world.

Principia College's Center for Sustainability is a vibrant nexus embracing academic pursuits, practical applications, and lively conversations about complex challenges that face the human family in the 21st century.

You can get involved right away—implementing sustainability projects, developing green purchasing policies, volunteering at a chemical-free farm right here on campus, or participating in sustainability-related community service.

The Center for Sustainability also coordinates an academic major or minor in sustainability, sponsors the Sustainability Speaker Series, and helps match students with sustainability-related internship and career opportunities.

Land Stewardship

Principia’s Land Stewardship program provides students the opportunity to engage in forest stewardship, prairie restoration, gardening, GIS projects, and more. Students perform a range of tasks essential to caring for our native ecosystems.
