Teaching the Way You Learn
Your experience at Mitchell College is as individual as you are: your strengths, your potential, your best self. Studies show the lifelong impact of making strong connections in college, and Mitchell lines up ways to connect across campus.
Individualized and Personal
Your advisor gets to know you before your first day of college and stays with you for four years.
First-Year Experience helps ease the transition into college life, getting you connected to what is happening in and out of the classroom. Using a process of self-discovery, our team of advisors, mentors, professors and others help you discover your strengths, interests, and how you learn best, then help you build your toolbox for success.
Small class sizes mean professors get to know you well. They want to understand how you learn, and are invested in your success—and in you as a person—to give you the right level of support and challenge to enhance your personal strengths.
Catch a glimpse into the spirit of the individualized and accessible Mitchell College experience and the vibe of our beautiful, coastal campus!
It’s time to explore what makes you distinct, what special talents you bring to the table. Starting with your very first weeks on campus, we create opportunities to discover where you excel, how you learn best and the work that inspires you! We encourage you to stretch and test yourself and take risks — giving you the individualized support Mitchell College is known for. Where else can you find your team, your voice, your community? At Mitchell, you develop your abilities, skills, adaptability and confidence…and we back you every step of the way.
No college will work harder to get to know you, support you and help you uncover your talents and interests.
