Academics

CMU's focus has always been on a liberal arts education and engaged, hands-on learning in a supportive environment. Central is nationally recognized for academic excellence with dedicated faculty who offer students personal attention in a more intimate learning environment.

But a CMU education is more than what students learn in the classroom. Throughout your years at Central, you can complement your program of study with opportunities like leadership, research, study abroad, academic and social organizations and volunteering.

Don't Forget!

It's not too late to send in your $175 New Student Orientation fee. Once we receive this, you'll be able to reserve a date for your orientation session and request one of our residence hall suites. If you have questions, please contact us.
