What kind of programs are offered at Reed College?

Reed College is a highly selective liberal arts college, meaning it doesn't offer professional programs like engineering, business, or nursing. Instead, it focuses on a rigorous, interdisciplinary undergraduate education. Students can pursue a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree, choosing from a wide variety of subjects, including but not limited to:

* Humanities: Literature, history, philosophy, languages (classic and modern), art history, music, and theatre.

* Social Sciences: Sociology, anthropology, political science, economics, psychology.

* Natural Sciences: Biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics.

* Interdisciplinary Studies: Reed encourages students to design their own interdisciplinary majors, combining aspects of several departments. This is a common and often highly valued aspect of a Reed education.

While there aren't specific "programs" in the sense of specialized professional tracks, students can develop strong concentrations within their chosen fields through coursework and independent research. The college emphasizes independent study, close interaction with faculty, and a challenging curriculum.
