YES, YOU CAN BE IN BOTH COLLEGES.
The innovative pairing of Christ College – The Honors College and the College of Engineering will give you a unique competitive advantage in your future endeavors. Christ College is the place where a future aerospace engineer, cartographer, or environmental engineer shares a table with a future clinical psychologist, music teacher, or historian.
The Christ College focus on critical thinking, leadership, and communication enhances the excellent technical education gained through the College of Engineering, where students are encouraged to use their knowledge and creativity to challenge what’s possible by learning how the world works, then rebuilding it better.

• Up-and-coming leaders, policy makers, and innovators
A VALPO EDUCATION
At Valpo, you receive a comprehensive, rigorous education within the liberal arts tradition, learning to think critically, communicate clearly, and solve complex problems creatively. With unprecedented access to resources, facilities, and above all, faculty, you obtain the individualized attention and guidance fundamental to reaching your full potential. Our University prides itself on being innovative, continually expanding upon its premier programs in response to an ever-changing job market. The Christ College and College of Engineering programs encourage a creative approach to solving complex problems, integrating multiple disciplines and skills to build better by building together.
“Valpo may be a small school, but its engineering program is excellent. More than that, studying engineering at Valpo does more than just give you strong competencies in your chosen field. Programs such as Christ College, as well as access to fields in the arts and humanities, which wouldn’t be as strong (if present at all) at other strong engineering schools, give you the opportunity to receive a complete, well-rounded education, making you not only a better engineer, but a better person.”

Take the next step toward your bright future by visiting valpo.edu/christ-college and valpo.edu/engineering.
“Valpo [allowed] me to gain a very high-quality mechanical engineering degree, while still pursuing other interests. I [was] able to be an engineering major while still taking piano lessons and being involved with Christ College and in student organizations. Valpo encourages that type of interdisciplinary learning and experience, and I think that this helps me to be a more well-rounded person ... and will make me a better engineer as I enter the workforce.”
