A sample of some of the many academic opportunities in Valpo's academic programs include:

Art students may work with the curator of the Brauer Museum of Art which houses a nationally recognized collection of 19th and 20th century works of American art and an impressive collection of regional art. The museum hosts a full schedule of exhibitions and events. Those interested in music will want to participate in the Bach Institute established to ensure the legacy of the music and theological perspective of Johann Sebastian Bach. Students may participate in seminars, performances and the Valparaiso University Bach Choir (by audition).

Students interested in science may elect to enhance their educations by spending a semester in the environmental science program which offers courses like "Science of the Indiana Dunes" or perhaps studying solar engineering with world renowned researcher in the field, Professor Robert Palumbo.

Meteorology or communications majors may want to practice their presentation skills in the state-of-the-art weather forecasting studio, a part of the prestigious meteorology program.

For those interested in international studies Valpo offers several overseas study programs, a German language house, coursework in international business, economic and cultural affairs, and the new Confucius Institute. This study center offers course in Chinese language, culture, and art.

Humanities students may choose to study at one of the oldest and most respected honors colleges in the United States, Christ College. This college emphasizes a liberal arts and humanities curriculum, and offers small discussion-centered classes led by master teacher-scholars.
