The Nichols Way
The Nichols Way is a guiding principle for all Nichols College students, faculty, and staff. We build curriculum and programming that supports student development and creates an environment of empathetic exploration.
A Dynamic Experience
The Nichols Way is baked into every course, every activity, every event, and especially the core classes that every first- and second-year students take. Together, we’ll explore the connections between who we are and where we’re going, and build on the foundational skills you’ve already earned by naturally engaging in your hobbies, sports, and academic pursuits. You won’t just be asked to write papers and give presentations, you’ll act as a thought leader on the topics that truly matter to you. In this way, you’ll not only strengthen your own core skills, but learn about a huge range of important issues from the community around you and discover what personal empowerment means to you.
