It's the best of all worlds in the Bailey College!
Big meets small in the best ways in the Bailey College. We take pride in cultivating the connected community of a small program combined with world-class opportunities of a large institution, while offering the resources and support to help each student succeed and find their passion.
With each year, our reputation grows as a premier institution for undergraduate research and our impactful programs for science, math and education. Through Learn by Doing and the Teacher Scholar Model, our students participate in high-impact experiences like hands-on research, service learning, internships, study abroad and faculty mentorship — gaining valuable personal and professional growth. What they learn and do during their time in the Bailey College, they take with them to make a difference in our communities, state and beyond.
