- The University of Puget Sound is an independent predominantly residential undergraduate liberal arts college with selected graduate programs building effectively on a liberal arts foundation. The University, as a community of learning, maintains a strong commitment to teaching excellence, scholarly engagement, and fruitful student-faculty interaction.
- Puget Sound blends study in traditional liberal arts disciplines (the arts, humanities, and natural
and social sciences) with opportunities for discovery at the intersections of knowledge. Puget Sound offers distinctive interdisciplinary programs in Honors; Asian Studies; International Political Economy; and Science, Technology and Society, just to name a few. Whether in the classroom or laboratory, on stage, or in the gallery, through academic internships or via projects in the greater community, students will find ample avenues for communicating ideas and testing your theories. Over 1,200 courses in 40 major programs, research study summers, popular theme houses, language program houses, frequent campus lectures and seminars, and academic-residential programs provide a rigorous intellectual framework for study. Puget Sound students are also eligible to be selected for membership in the honor societies of Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi, and Mortar Board.
- The University of Puget Sound is the only nationally ranked liberal arts college in Western Washington, and one of only two independent colleges in Washington granted a charter by Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s most prestigious academic honorary. In addition, graduating seniors at Puget Sound have received Watson Fellowships at a rate of better than one per year and have earned nearly a dozen Fulbright awards in the last four years.
