Our highest priority is to provide students with a rigorous Christ-centered education in the liberal arts and sciences. Liberal arts at Houghton typically include many experiences beyond the classroom: internships and practicums, collaborative research with professors, service learning, and study abroad. Houghton has a global emphasis, enabling international and cross-cultural learning through intensive study abroad opportunities in places such as London, Australia, and Tanzania. Annually over 50% of Houghton students have enriched their educational experience through study abroad and off-campus semester programs. Houghton is an ideal place for building relationships. Through a semester long Bible study with a close-knit group of friends. Planning a worship service for the residents of a local nursing home. Having dinner and a class discussion at the home of a professor. These enduring relationships continue long after graduation.
