    Built in 1843, the College of the Holy Cross serves as the educational facility for nearly 3,000 students. A liberal arts institution with a Jesuit tradition, this school offers many curricular programs and extracurricular activities from its hillside campus. Aside from biology, those curious about the sciences can learn about chemistry, sociology, anthropology, mathematics, and computer science. Those more interested in the arts can focus their education on English, art history, studio art, and music. Foreign languages also account for a major portion of the College of the Holy Cross’ classes, and it features courses in Chinese, German, French, Spanish, Russian, and Italian. Beyond these subjects, the institution also permits pupils to develop their own major or minor such as film studies and Catholic studies, participate in multidisciplinary studies, or enroll in career-centered programs that start them on a path toward professions in teaching, law, business, and health.

    Understanding the importance of an active student life, the College of the Holy Cross includes over 100 organizations covering a wide variety of areas. Two newspapers, a radio station, and theatrical and singing groups allow pupils to share their creativity with fellow students. Athletes can join hockey, baseball, tennis, ballroom dancing, and a myriad of other teams and clubs. Philanthropic individuals seeking to participate in national and international charities can take part in the school’s branches of Amnesty International, Operation Smile, Share Your Soles, and Crusaders for the Children.
