Learning at Princeton extends far beyond the classroom.

We actively promote opportunities for study, research, and service abroad. We believe that residential living and learning are integral to a Princeton education. Our students also engage our local schools and communities. With a holistic perspective on the student experience, our residential college deans and assistant deans oversee academic advising. Faculty hold freshman seminars and writing center consultations in the residential colleges as well.

Princeton’s faculty boast a special commitment to undergraduate education. We support faculty who create new courses, incorporate new technologies, and refine their teaching methods. Given the defining role independent work plays in the Princeton experience, we also work closely with academic departments and programs to develop thesis guidelines, fund undergraduate research, and create writing support groups.
