The cornerstone of a liberal arts education is the ability to explore the connections between many different subjects as well as the options available. So learning here expands well beyond the classroom walls. Focusing on undergraduate studies, we help students dig into learning, whether they participate in faculty-mentored research projects, undertake career-related internships, study abroad, or join service projects aimed at improving the quality of life at home and around the world. We encourage everyone to seek challenges, seize opportunities and become a doer as well as a thinker.<br><br>

At UNC Asheville, we’ve created an environment for exploring the world as well as more than 30 different majors. About 3,900 undergraduate students and about 330 full- and part-time faculty bring the campus alive with a genuine hunger to understand and contribute to the human experience. Amid the culturally rich setting of Asheville, North Carolina, in the Blue Ridge Mountains, it’s all designed to spark a lifelong quest to know more — a fire that will grow brighter in the future.</p></blockquote>

We don't get to talk to people who know about synthetic biology in real life that much, going to a small liberal arts college. So it was an absolute treat to go to the University of Virginia and talk to domain experts and motivated students.

Gibson Assembly

No one in our institution has even performed a Gibson Assembly, so when we decided to use it as our primary assembly technique we were more than a little nervous. Luckily, the UVA iGEM team are old hands at Gibson Assembly and we're able to give us some guided direction.
