Grounded in the liberal arts with opportunities for studying in more than 30 majors, minors and concentrations, at Sierra Nevada College our spectacular location is used to the fullest. Here, a nearby alpine meadow or mountain peak provides the sort of hands-on experience students at other schools can only read about.

Davis) affords even greater opportunities for learning.
