Your intellectual journey as an undergraduate should be
filled with adventure, wonder and the support of a community of fellow
travelers. The academic program at
Salve Regina University has been crafted to welcome you into a "restless"
learning community that celebrates opportunities to work for a just and
harmonious world - as specialists and as collaborative partners in creative and
responsible problem-solving.
Beginning with an engaging First Year Experience that brings
the promise of the liberal arts and the challenge of the University Mission
into focus, and ending with a capstone experience that will launch you into a
lifetime of learning, our Core Curriculum and the variety of majors and minors
we offer reflect the orientation of our community to action. Whether you
choose a major in the liberal arts and sciences or a pre-professional program
of study, you will find that Salve Regina's faculty and students are seekers of
knowledge and wisdom, experts - and
aspiring experts - in our fields who are also in dialogue with each other at
the intersection of faith and reason.
Integrating the intellectual, the personal and the spiritual with
empathetic concern, the Salve Regina experience is one that will challenge you
to visit intellectual places where you may have never thought to travel.
Throughout your four years at Salve Regina you will be
encouraged to discover your passion, explore enduring values and to develop
the skills to apply both to your work in the larger community. But you will
also be invited off the beaten path to learn with and from others unlike you,
be provoked to explore less comfortable places, and to chart ever more
interesting expeditions within our supportive intellectual community. We learn in and beyond a historic and unique campus. There is creative energy in our
community to build upon the wide array of opportunities and strengths of the
Salve Regina experience. Our
mission-in-action is transformative; it grounds the undergraduate program and
our hope for Salve Regina graduates, even as it propels us forward to make a
difference in the world.
Explore these opportunities, ask us questions; we invite you to embark
upon your journey with us.
