Please change Program of Emphasis to say "Programs of Emphasis" for the sub-section under Academics and change the blurb to say the following:
Juniata College features "Programs of Emphasis" (POEs) rather than traditional academic majors. Students can choose a designated POE or create their own with the approval of two faculty advisors. Students may also have secondary emphases, similar to the traditional academic minor. Nearly 45% of Juniata students design their own POE.
Also include a list of designated POEs at Juniata:

Great suggestions. I made some edits to the lead so that it more fully encompasses the article:
Juniata College is a private liberal arts college in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, United States. Founded in 1876 as a co-educational school, it was the first college started by the Church of the Brethren. The main campus spans 110 acres and is supplemented by a 315-acre Baker-Henry Nature Preserve and Baker Peace Chapel. In addition, a 365-acre Environmental Studies Field Station is located on nearby Raystown Lake.
Juniata College is primarily an undergraduate institution but offers graduate programs in accounting and nonprofit leadership. Today, Juniata has about 1,600 students from 42 states and territories and 45 countries.[4] Its current president is Dr. James A. Troha.
Requesting edits to the academic section:
Program of Emphasis Section...
Juniata College features a “Program of Emphasis” (POE) [1] rather than the common Academic major. Students can choose from a designated POE, or they can individualize their POE within a certain course framework. Students may also have secondary emphases, similar to the traditional academic minor. Juniata offers 66 designated POEs. [2] Nearly 45% of Juniata students design their own POE.
DELETE "Areas of Study" & REPLACE WITH "Achievements"
The strong academic tradition of Juniata College is made apparent in the success of its students. The school touts an impressive graduation rate: 79% of all students entering Juniata graduate; of those, 96% do so within four years. Juniata also has a 95% acceptance rate to all postgraduate programs, including medical, podiatric, dental, occupational therapy, physical therapy, chiropractic, and law schools.
Since 2003, Juniata has produced eight Academic All-Americans, five American Physiological Society Undergraduate Research Fellows, 20 Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholars, 19 Fulbright Scholars, 14 Goldwater Fellows, one Pickering Fellow, eight St. Andrew's Society Scholars, and one Davies-Jackson Scholar. Juniata also perennially places at least one student as a Harvard Summer Research Scholar.
Create section on "Study abroad"
Students are encouraged to study abroad in order to gain knowledge and experience living and studying in another culture. Juniata offers 55 study abroad programs in 22 countries on 6 continents. Every POE has at least one study abroad program that can meet POE and other requirements. Additionally, financial aid and scholarships still apply while abroad. [3]
Ranking section to come!

As the Athletics section refers to the school's mascot changing from "Indians" to "Eagles", is there any information we can add as to when this change took place? 97.102.30.205 ( talk) 22:41, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
