Foundation

Our degrees and programs combine a strong liberal arts foundation with academic study in your major and real-world learning, preparing you for your career or graduate education.

Forward Thinking

Faculty

With many of them having professional careers in the fields they teach, our faculty members bring real-world experience and academic expertise into the Behavioral & Social Sciences classrooms.

Setting the Bar

The skills I learned [at Quincy University] helped me in my current job and they helped me when I was in law school.
