Brenau University challenges students to live extraordinary lives of personal and professional fulfillment. As students pursue undergraduate and graduate degrees or non-degree programs at Brenau campuses and online, each prepares for a lifetime of intellectual accomplishment and appreciation of artistic expression through a curriculum enriched by the liberal arts, scientific inquiry and global awareness. At Brenau, your education doesn't simply earn you a degree. It opens your mind to new possibilities. It reveals new ways of seeing, understanding and interacting with the world. We have literally organized the program to open new vistas to every student.

Here's how:
You'll learn about places you have never been, meet people from all over the world, and find opportunities to travel and learn in ways that will expand your worldview. Mathematics and science courses will take you deep inside the structure and language of the natural world and reveal their connections to everyday life.

Brenau's extensive art collection, world-class performing arts and music programs and studio art opportunities will help you tap your creative instincts and make the arts a part of your life. You will explore languages and communication-writing, speaking, information technology- so that you have the skills and confidence to communicate your extraordinary ideas in ways that can change the world.
