Envisioning 2020: “To build excellence upon our traditional liberal arts foundation and to keep cost of attendance affordable.” “Students at Wise receive one -on-one attention from mentors and have opportunities for funding that students from other colleges would give anything to have. Close relationships with professors and funding opportunities allow UVa-Wise students not just to study abroad, but to take independent study courses, to do undergraduate research, and to develop themselves as scholars and professionals in ways that other students simply cannot. Whether UVa-Wise alumni choose to attend graduate school or enter the job market immediately after graduation, they are more than prepared for the academic and professional challenges that await them. At a time when many colleges have forsaken broad academic training for the sake of “narrow specialization,” UVa -Wise has stayed true to its commitment to a well-rounded, liberal arts education, and the success of its graduates in the academy and on the job market attests to the merit of its ideals.
