Schools & Departments

Across the disciplines at Converse, you’ll find passion and compassion, energy and excitement. You’ll find award-winning professors, like the poets and novelists who will mentor you in our writing programs, or the research scientists who teach biology in labs equipped for hands-on research in biology, chemistry and biochemistry. You’ll find semi-private art studios and individual music practice rooms, “smart classrooms” that integrate network, digital and audio-visual technologies. And you’ll find a commitment to creatively rethinking everything: the way we learn, the way we teach, the way we proceed into the future.
