A multi-million-dollar academic/athletic complex expansion— The College Centre—opened in 2005, and a new, state-of-the-art residence hall will be dedicated in 2009. We have residential programs in England, France, and Mexico, plus exchange programs in England, Northern Ireland, and Japan, all for about the same cost as study in Danville.
