They can choose between <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dickinson.edu\/academics\/programs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">83 different majors and minors<\/a> and graduate with either a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science. With topics including globalization and\u00a0sustainability, the practical application of knowledge form the foundation of every Dickinson education and are often reinforced and rediscovered both in and outside of the classroom. About 250 professors work in the departments and offer specialized knowledge, insights, and guidance to students. Small class sizes and well-equipped classrooms provide for an engaging and convenient learning environment that can often be suited to the individuals\u2019 interests\u00a0and academic focuses. The <a href=\"http:\/\/tour.dickinson.edu\/view\/discover-campus-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">campus <\/a>provides a good atmosphere for learning that extends outside of the classroom. Various areas on campus, both indoor and outdoor, can be used for studying in groups or alone, with one example being the study rooms in the library, which can be reserved online or at the front desk. The Writing Center offers assistance in all stages of writing texts in different languages and subject areas. Furthermore the staff of the library and archives is eager to help students develop ideas and research them. Dickinson values practical education, which often manifests itself in co-curricular activities or field work that supplement the more theoretical learning that takes place in the classroom. These possibilities include, but are not limited to: theater and dance, a simulated excavation site, special-interest housing, art studios, a planetarium, and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dickinson.edu\/collegefarm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dickinson Farm<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 25%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-897 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/bremen\/outgoing-students\/dickinson-college\/original_156_biodiesel5\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/bremen\/files\/2012\/11\/original_156_Biodiesel5-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"original  Biodiesel\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/bremen\/outgoing-students\/dickinson-college\/original_125_dc_9-24-09_0980\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/bremen\/files\/2012\/11\/original_125_dc_9-24-09_0980-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"original  dc\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/bremen\/outgoing-students\/dickinson-college\/original_150__c6d8874\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/bremen\/files\/2012\/11\/original_150__C6D8874-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"original   CD\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/bremen\/outgoing-students\/dickinson-college\/original_293__dsc4738\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/bremen\/files\/2012\/11\/original_293__DSC4738-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"original   DSC\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><span style=\"color: #d3232d\">CAMPUS AND STUDENT LIFE<\/span><span style=\"color: #d3232d\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong>With the exception of the Dickinson Farm, all of the academic buildings are located on the campus in the heart of Carlisle and are situated on park-like grounds.
