Design a pathway that fits you.

At Roberts, we believe in customized educational pathways that give you the freedom to explore your calling - and the tools to pursue it with confidence.

Focus your coursework and select from a variety of courses that teach you transferable skills for any path you choose, no matter how many times it changes.

We'll help you create a plan tailored to your unique interests, abilities, and future plans.

Here are three focused plans to consider:

The Examined Life and Human Experience

Study the human experience. Explore how people create and discuss meaning and derive value from experience and how they understand themselves and others. Develop empathy and insight into the human condition.

Faith and Culture

Critically assess forms of cultural expression, discern societal trends, and recognize the ways in which faith influences culture and vice-versa. Through the study of literature, art, music, history, and popular culture, experience life with more insight and learn to understand and influence culture from a perspective of faith.

Global Responsibility and Community Commitment

Understand the world from multiple perspectives, appreciate your inescapable involvement in global systems, and learn about challenges to justice and living well in local communities and across the world.

If you are not interested in pursuing the minor or are looking for more flexibility, you can choose the Open Track. This provides the ability to choose courses while still completing the required credits.
