My D was just at Heidelberg this past Sat for their Scholars Day. There was a total of 80 students and their families. It was a very good experience. We were really impressed even more with their Honors Program. My daughter will be in music, but we found also that they have strong science programs and are the only college based national water quality lab in the country. Also their anthropology program is of high quality. And they are amping up their business program both in bldg and in faculty. The Honors Program is called “The Life of the Mind” and really allows the 100+ students in that program along with the faculty who do very interesting multi-disciplinary classes to be creative. The program is comprised of four intellectual areas: the Scholar, the Scientist, the Artist and the Citizen. It will enable my daughter to have more freedom in her curricula, to get more credit hrs per semester, and to take some very interesting cross disciplinary classes like the one on the diamond which looks at chemistry, business, history, political and international issues involving diamonds. Another semester is focused on Empires past and present e.g. the US.
