Engaged Learning

At Raft U, engaging classrooms transport CSB/SJU students down the river of academic rigor, and provide the perfect platform from which they can explore the depths of challenging topics.

Because all classes and labs are led by professors (not teaching assistants), our students know their academic raft is being steered by a well-seasoned captain who is prepared to guide them through the rapids and around the waterfalls they may encounter on their way!

The making of the Raft U Academics shot

Did we really haul 16 desks, a chalkboard, a table and a professor to Raft U to teach a class? Yes, we did. At CSB/SJU we'll do anything to make sure our classes are small, engaging and creative. Just ask Dr. Derek Larson, the CSB/SJU environmental studies professor teaching that class.
