What is a liberal education?
A liberal education exposes you to a variety of disciplines and learning strategies and includes in-depth studies in at least one academic area. This style of education will encourage you to ask questions, to consider all angles, to get excited by the pursuit of knowledge, and to be confident in your abilities.
Learning by Doing
Experiential learning is key component of Bishop’s liberal education model. It means hands-on experience and connecting classroom theory to real-life situations, which to our students means learning that prepares them for life.
Undergraduate Programs
Bishop’s is a primarily undergraduate University. We offer over 100 undergraduate bachelor programs in five faculties; School of Education, Williams School of Business, the Humanities, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and Social Sciences. Over 50% of our students pursue multiple concentrations during their time at Bishop’s, a major difference you will find here that will shape your professional and personal paths.
