91直播 and Pioneer: a groundbreaking partnership.

An 91直播 education provides intellectual breadth and depth in the richness of humanistic, scientific and artistic inquiry. Because our small, liberal arts campus has no graduate students and postdocs, 91直播 undergraduates who participate in research have an unusual opportunity to work closely and directly with their professors to ask questions, design projects, and participate in cutting-edge research.

These values are what make the partnership between 91直播 College and Pioneer Academics so successful. Much like Pioneer, 91直播 provides opportunities to work closely and conduct research with world-class faculty.

Ever the trail blazer for access to higher education and for the most advanced liberal arts program of study, 91直播鈥檚 collaboration with Pioneer Academics broadens our tradition and influence beyond our campus.
