Strong interaction with professors. All students are required to study abroad for three-four week trips at the end of their junior year. Students are also required to do two internships.

It is a comprehensive university with both liberal arts and pre-professional programs including nursing. They have a major Students are engaged in the learning. Also give very nice merit scholarships and have a Presidential scholarship as well. 70:30 female to male ratio.
