Academics at Jamestown College

A liberal arts education at Jamestown College will teach you how to think, not what to think. Your education is designed to develop your communication and reasoning abilities to their fullest potential. As a student you will be exposed to a broad spectrum of human knowledge, ensuring not only your in-depth knowledge of your major field of study but also your contact with varied subjects and ways of thinking to spark your curiosity.

What this means to you in future years is the ability to compete successfully for jobs throughout the world. More and more, firms are turning to students with liberal arts backgrounds because they are better trained to think critically and are prepared to move into a broader range of management positions.

Jamestown College is accredited by several major regional and national accrediting organizations, but its striving for academic excellence far exceeds the minimum standards. Its alumni have distinguished themselves and brought honor to the college through their excellent records in graduate and professional schools, as well as in their successes in a variety of careers.

Some have called Jamestown College the "Ivy League of the Region," not only because of the stunning beauty of the campus, but also because Jamestown College offers many of the advantages of a large university (quality and variety of programs and courses) in a small college setting.
