Drury is a new kind of university that honors and effectively links liberal arts and sciences to the study of professional areas. In doing so, students are more authentically connected to:
• Why what they are learning matters and how they can apply it in real life.
• Why decisions, both personally and professionally, should come from a place of ethics and morality.
• Faculty: accessibility is a p
oint of pride for us because we are a teaching university.
• The community: in the classroom, on campus and beyond.
• Thought leaders and mentors: from freshman year to graduation to job search to alumni connections. At Drury, students make lifelong connections.
• Wellness and sustainability as a way of life rather than a task. We believe healthy people lead happier, longer, more productive lives.
• Community outreach as part of a life well lived.
• A spirit of entrepreneurship, which inspires confidence, creativity and accountability.
• An environment of collaboration where students are actively involved in enhancing their Drury experience.
• A life well lived: Drury students learn how to connect dreams and aspirations to successful futures. But a quality education goes beyond the standards of academic scholarship. Drury enriches the whole person as each student explores new ideas, challenges beliefs, learns to think critically and eventually finds new ways to understand the world outside the classroom.
