If you’re interested in building a great relationship with your professors and classmates at a graduate level, Olivet is a great place. I find a lot of what I’m learning in my graduate courses relates directly to conversations I have in my everyday life. I think that’s something you don’t often get in a bigger institution.”

What is Relationship-Based Learning?

At Olivet, we believe in learning through interactions that promote expression of self, explores connections with peers, and provides engagement with the instructor. This structure fosters critical thinking, the absorption of content, and exposure to diverse perspectives on course topics. Here are some of the ways you’ll connect:

Learning communities
Synchronous meeting options in all courses
A graduate culture of scholarship and support
Orientations for online learning, graduate writing, and individual programs
Virtual (or in-person) participation in UO’s traditions
