Get more out of your life!

What will you major in? What do you want to do with your life? Do you feel pressured to have your life fully planned before graduating high school?

The Bluffton Blueprint, which incorporates the Design Your Life curriculum, will help you figure it out.

Making connections


If you are open minded and are listening, participating and engaging with the lessons, you can really learn a lot about who you are as a person and what you want to do in life.
– Cheyanne Bolden, psychology and social work double major

During your first semester at Bluffton University, you’ll be mentored by professors to build a framework for your college experience. Design Your Life (DYL) uses elements of a curriculum originally developed at Stanford University and modified for Bluffton undergraduates.

“Thanks to the skills I have learned at Bluffton I have gained experience and found what I am truly passionate about. I never really planned to go to college and get a degree, and now I’m looking forward to graduating and pursuing my masters thanks to the help and encouragement of my professors.”
– Carter Ritchey ’25, Communication and media major

As a senior, you will revisit the Design Your Life curriculum to envision life after college.

Design Your Life will help you get more out of (instead of cramming more into) your life.
