Study at Alfred University New York
What's your inspiration? Maybe it starts with faculty –
talented, engaged and engaging professors who love to teach, whose goal
is to inspire in their students with creativity and a spirit of inquiry.
In other words, they’ll inspire you, just as you inspire them. Lots of
places will tell you “you won’t just be a number.” At Alfred University,
professors will not only know your name, but they’ll know you as a
person -- who your friends are; what sports you play; what clubs you
belong to. And you will know them, too. You’ll see that after classes,
as volunteers with ambulance corps or members of the village board;
you’ll see them at dinner with their families; or performing with you in
the orchestra or choir.
It might be an undergraduate research or capstone project. It’s great to
say you learned something, but it’s even better to demonstrate that you
can apply what you’ve learned. Some majors require a research project or
capstone experience, and all encourage it. Undertake a research project.
Write and direct a play. Choreograph a dance. Exhibit your art.
It might be time spent in the community. The faculty at Alfred
University is committed to incorporating service learning into their
courses. One class spent two weeks in Costa Rica, perfecting their
Spanish, but also working in a community center. Another wrote and
produced community radio shows. Engineering students introduced area
high school students to the use of a scanning electron microscope, while
others take their demonstrations on the road to nearby classrooms with
“Science on Wheels.” Students in a gerontology class work with nursing
home residents, and sociology students study how domestic violence
affects families in a rural area.
Or perhaps it is a visit to another country. Alfred University is
committed to providing an international experience for as many of our
studentts as possible. For some, it will be a week-long trip as part of
a class. For others, it will be a semester spent abroad, or an
international internship.
Come see what Alfred University inspires in you!
