Learning and Living
Motto: “Pro Discendo, Pro Vivendo" (For Learning, For Living)
The motto on the university’s seal reflects a long-standing commitment to prepare students to become reflective and accomplished people committed to lifelong learning and contribution. The Stevenson approach rests on the premise that a good education requires great teachers, personal attention, current and engaging curricula, opportunities for learning by doing, a supportive community, and an intentional connection to career.
In a vibrant campus environment conducive to intellectual growth, personal self-discovery, and professional development, Stevenson University offers curricula that give students a strong foundation in the liberal arts and sciences. Students acquire skills and knowledge in their major fields in small classes featuring personal attention, mentorship, and support from faculty. All students complete Stevenson Educational Experience (SEE) courses that develop skills in writing, communication, and math, and provide a basic understanding of the key disciplines in the liberal arts and sciences. Courses in the majors provide opportunities to acquire proficiency in a specific discipline that will prepare students for employment in their chosen field of study or for graduate school.
