Go Beyond the Major
At Gustavus, we foster an environment that encourages students to pursue multiple interests, question the way of things, and develop a distinct perspective that instills confidence and builds community. We believe college is meant to create leaders — and leadership looks different on everyone.
When you become a Gustie, you explore your own curiosity to figure out what makes you, you. Here, you'll see what you're capable of, so no matter where you land, you're prepared to make a difference.
