Career-Focused Majors. Prospective students consider many factors in choosing a university and a home college, but, sooner or later, it’s all about choosing a major that matches the student's interests and goals for a career that they will enjoy as their life's work. We have 14 majors for students with an interest in Plants, Animals, Business, Food, the Human Environment or the Natural Environment.

We are dedicated to providing a family-like atmosphere for a close-knit student body. Students tell us they consider Bumpers College their home-away-from-home. Our faculty take a personal interest in helping each student find their niche, succeed as a student and enjoy their time with us. We provide a friendly, small-college atmosphere with all the advantages of a major state university.
