Academics
Armed with a “beautiful campus” and “excellent academics,” the University of Puget Sound is a great option for anyone hoping to study in the Pacific Northwest. The school provides students with “an amazing support system” and truly strives to “help them [meet] their goal[s] in whatever capacity necessary.” Academically, undergrads here are especially quick to highlight Puget Sound’s “great arts programs, whether [in] English, music, or theater.” They also applaud the fact that there are ample “project-based learning opportunities such as relevant work study [and] summer research for all majors and interests.” Additionally, students benefit from small class sizes, which lead to plenty of “open discussion and interactive engagement with the course material.” This also allows undergrads to develop “close student-professor relationships.” And speaking of professors, they work hard to ensure their classes are “challenging” yet “accessible.” Importantly, “they have open office hours that all students are encouraged to attend, and there is no shame in [doing so].” As one grateful student sums up, “Professors are genuinely excited to make time for students in their schedule for advice, homework help, or even just sharing a coffee. The level of concern of the professors for undergraduate education is almost unmatched.”
