Brevard College is committed to an experiential liberal arts education that encourages personal growth and inspires artistic, intellectual, and social action.
At Brevard College, education is much more than learning the ‘right answers’ and doing well on a test. Experiential academics develop students’ ability to think, work in a group, and reflect upon and apply their learning to real world problems.
Our classrooms are student centered, not teacher centered. Our classes are problem based; we use content to tackle important issues rather than just deliver information.
In addition to learning theory, our students apply theory to real situations. We cultivate skills through individualized learning and performance, but we also develop our students' abilities to work collaboratively in teams—creating the perfect combination of skills needed for real life situations.
