The Academic Program

Davis & Elkins College offers a range of baccalaureate and associate degree programs representing the arts and sciences, pre-professional and professional studies. All academic programs share a common commitment to provide students a broad conceptual framework. The Honors Program enriches the general college programs with a series of intensive seminars. Most students find that one of the programs listed will meet their academic needs and career goals; however, the College also offers the opportunity for a more personalized curriculum through the Contract Degree Program. Through this program students may pursue a major tailored to their needs and interests, supplementing or complementing traditional offerings.
