Converse University empowers students to become transformative leaders who see clearly, decide wisely, and act justly. Converse University prides itself on embracing a culture of belonging and collaboration that ignites creativity, innovation, and transformation. Every student has the opportunity to participate in experiential learning while at Converse – things like internships, student research, leadership development, community service, and study travel. We offer an environment where opinions are valued and supported with strong academic programs in the arts, sciences, and education, an uncommonly low 9:1 student-faculty ratio and unique opportunities for student and faculty research.
