As a close-knit community of
315 students and
60 faculty, Burke ensures that each individual (and their family) is known and engaged.
Students have space to try new things, from a brand-new sport to a challenging new instrument or visual art.
No one gets edged out based on sheer numbers.
While not sprawling, our campus is a great size for us. Our buildings are
full of light and personality and provide quick
access to the entire city – so you will often find classes on the Metro, at museums, and on Rock Creek Park's paths.
In times of stress or uncertainty, this comparatively small size confers
tremendous value. We can adapt swiftly and creatively to change. We can adjust
our supports and resources as needed.
