Academics: Get Involved in Your Education

Castleton offers more than 30 challenging majors in the liberal arts and sciences and in professional and career preparation. Classes are small and students receive individual attention from faculty.

Castleton's curriculum is based on the belief that a well-rounded education that expands your horizons and teaches you how to write and to solve problem creatively is critical in career preparation, no matter what you plan to do.

The college has excellent programs for new students, including the First-Year Seminar and Soundings, a series that offers the best in music, drama, and dance.

The college is deeply committed to the American Democracy Project, a national effort to strengthen civic and political engagement and to its own Green Campus Initiative, which originated with students and is implemented by them. An increasing number of courses have a service-learning component in which students use their knowledge to carry out meaningful projects in the community.

Castleton's small classes and many out-of-the-classroom activities offer students the chance to do research; to create works of art, literature, and film; to perform; and to work with people while learning the skills of a profession. More students every year are seeing the world as part of their Castleton education. In summer 2007 Castleton offers the Costa Rica Summer Program.

Tutoring is available through the Academic Support Center.
