Majors and Minors

No getting lost in the back of a crowded lecture hall here. Instead, professors will challenge you to exceed your expectations. Thoughtful and engaging discussions—in and out of class—are the norm. And some days your “classroom” may be a field, theatre, museum, observatory, stream, or national park. We firmly believe that learning should be an adventure.

And since Principia is a liberal arts college, you can challenge yourself with a wide range of courses, making discoveries and gaining insight within and beyond your major. In the process, you’ll be preparing for life, developing skills essential to success in the workplace.
