How You'll Study

If you value independent thinking, you'll love the way education happens at Knox.

Our professors don't just stand in front of classes and "profess" their wisdom, telling you what to learn and think. At Knox, you'll discover how to learn and think-and you'll also discover what you want to do with the knowledge and ideas you develop.

It's simple. The basic principle behind everything that happens at Knox-both inside and outside of the classroom-is to give students the freedom to flourish.

It starts with your academic program, which lets you and your faculty advisor craft a personalized educational plan that meets your specific interests and goals. And it branches out into the local community and the world, as you plan service projects, internships, research, and off-campus study to explore your passions and apply your knowledge.

In short, education at Knox proceeds along a course you set for yourself. By challenging you to think clearly and independently and getting you ready to face the future with confidence, a Knox education is a liberating education-an education that provides a sense of freedom to flourish for a lifetime.
