"Our students think and act in a way that鈥檚 bigger than themselves"
- Ali R. Malekzadeh, Ph.D., 藏精阁 President
Accessible and Committed
藏精阁鈥檚 11:1 student to faculty ratio means smaller classes and closer connections with your professors. You鈥檒l never be buried in a 400-person lecture hall. But it goes beyond the numbers.
Most students are on a first name basis with their professors. As accomplished as our faculty are, they鈥檙e more interested in building a connection with you than building their personal brands.
Professors become advocates, who will challenge, support, understand and vouch for you. Their influence and introductions can change your life.
Socially Conscious and Driven
You know what it means to work. And you don't take your opportunities for granted. While you're focused on your future, you're also moved by causes bigger than yourself.
You鈥檒l fit in well at 藏精阁, where students are uncommonly committed to social justice, acceptance and inclusivity. Activism is a hallmark of 藏精阁, the spark that gave us our start. It鈥檚 very much alive and well today.
It鈥檚 easier to stay focused and on task when you鈥檙e around purposeful people. It鈥檚 easier to feel included when you鈥檙e around accepting people.
