From the Institution

At Grinnell, you'll work closely with a faculty adviser to chart your academic path in what we call our "individually advised curriculum." Here, advisers are trusted mentors who will help you evaluate your interests, values, and skills within the context of a Carnegie-classified Research College with a liberal arts approach to learning. Together, you'll co-create an experience that is broad, deep, and based upon your aspirations. You'll take only two required courses outside of your major - both components of the First-Year Experience. The rest of your four-year class schedule is up to you and your academic adviser to craft, so you can uncover and pursue what you truly care about. Every Grinnellian has access to study, work, and experiences around the world. Even on our campus, you'll hear more than 60 languages spoken by students from nearly every state and with citizenships from 80+ countries. Grinnellians come from all over the globe to attend this top-ranked national college. Thanks to a no-loan financial aid policy and individualized advising, our students graduate with less debt and more direction. Grinnellians receive invaluable support from their career advisers, in their career communities, and through industry-specific professional pathways, and their return on investment is clear, as they are hired into impactful jobs and admitted to the world's top graduate school programs.
