The Undergraduate Academic Program

MUSKINGUM UNIVERSITY COMBINES solid classroom curricula with a level of field work and independent study you’ll rarely encounter in an undergraduate setting.

Here, you’ll be taught by professors – not graduate assistants or researchers who occasionally teach. More than 90 percent of our faculty hold a doctorate or the highest degree in their fields. Their dedication to teaching and Muskingum’s 16-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio create a lively, challenging atmosphere that promotes student success.

STARTING WITH YOUR FIRST-YEAR COURSES in the Liberal Arts Essentials, we’ll help you build a strong foundation for the rest of your college career. Later, as you focus on an academic major, interdisciplinary major, pre-professional or teacher licensure program, you’ll discover that each department at Muskingum offers its own special strengths.

Our science division, for example, is rated among the top undergraduate science programs in the country. Exploring tomorrow’s frontiers are programs like neuroscience, conservation science and environmental science, each offering unique opportunities in exciting fields.

MUSKINGUM ALSO LETS YOU EXPLORE beyond the classroom. Our international exchange program provides opportunities to study abroad at one of more than a dozen institutions, and a variety of internships combine what you’ve learned with real world experiences.

Regardless of the field you eventually pursue, you’ll find outstanding programs, an environment that’s conducive to learning and a broad, flexible curriculum to suit your interests.
