An Education of Discovery
A Holy Cross education is an experience of discovery. Our approaches to learning encourage you to explore many fields of knowledge, immerse yourself in your main interests, develop your individual talents, and find your place in the world.
This level of discovery is possible because Holy Cross is an exclusively undergraduate college with a highly personalized, mentoring-based approach to education. You learn directly from our faculty members – not teaching assistants – in small classes. Our gifted professors are here to concentrate on you and your progress. They are highly qualified in their academic fields and active in research. Holy Cross faculty members want to understand you and your goals so they can offer you the best advice, include you in special projects, and cheer your successes.
Our commitment to diversity is another feature of our education of discovery. We welcome students and faculty of all ethnic, racial, and religious backgrounds because we believe that learning is most effective in an environment of many experiences and viewpoints.
