University Studies is a collaboratory of high touch, student-first programs that emphasize autonomy, leadership, service, and the pursuit of a fulfilling personal and professional life.

Students who take advantage of University Studies’ opportunities build out high quality professional networks that promote resilience and life satisfaction.
