Academics

Academics are the heart of the Ottawa University experience: the thinking and learning that take place in the classroom, the conversations with professors and peers, and the engagement and interrogation of ideas. Ottawa University’s liberal arts studies program supports this growth by providing all students a core curriculum that develops critical thinking and intellectual and ethical leadership. In addition to pursuing a specific major, first-year students enroll in three interdisciplinary seminars, as well as one course each from seven general education areas. A series of arts and cultural events complete our students’ liberal arts experience.
