Faculty Excellence. Faculty at a Top 25 Research University are expected to perform. And do they ever. McMicken faculty publish more than 600 books, chapters and articles each year and bring in approximately $9 million in external funding. Their scholarly activity doesn’t keep them locked up in their labs and offices though. McMicken faculty are chosen for prestigious teaching awards every year.

Real World Experience. Going beyond the classroom to conduct research, participate in an internship, live in the language immersion house or study abroad are just a few of the ways McMicken students gain real world experience. Relationships built through these experiences help promote student success at every level, from internal motivation to full-time jobs.

Links about real-world experience can be found on the A&S undergraduate Web site.

Commitment to Students. Navigating “red tape” on a college campus can be daunting. McMicken undergraduates, however, need not worry. Students are well taken care of from the moment they step onto campus. Award-winning advisors help students with schedules, deciding upon a major and getting involved on campus. Their expertise has helped retention skyrocket and increased student satisfaction.
