The ideal blend of liberal arts and professional studies.
Valparaiso University is a comprehensive university that offers an expansive curriculum and emphasizes teaching in the manner of a small, traditional college, with plenty of individual guidance. Valpo is the right size for whatever you want to do — small enough to offer personal attention and one-on-one faculty interaction, and large enough to provide a wide range of opportunities to participate in campus and community activities.
The University is composed of five colleges, a Law School, and a Graduate School.
College of Arts & Sciences
Home to 21 academic departments, the College of Arts and Sciences is the largest and most diverse of the colleges. It provides the Valpo Core, the interdisciplinary experience that builds the foundation for a student’s general education for all programs, and it is where 70 percent of Valpo students earn their degrees.
