Elizabethtown College

Elizabethtown

Elizabethtown College is a community of learners dedicated to educating students intellectually, socially, aesthetically and ethically for lives of service and leadership as citizens of the world. We offer more than four dozen degrees in liberal arts, fine and performing arts, science and engineering, business, communications and education. Through personal attention, creative inspiration and academic challenge, Elizabethtown students are encouraged to expand their intellectual curiosity. They also are given an opportunity to be a bigger part of the world through experiential learning, collaborative research with caring faculty mentors, study-abroad and civic-engagement opportunities, and internships. \r\n\r\nElizabethtown College is committed to educating the whole person within a relationship-centered learning community where common goals are achieved through engagement in a rigorous academic curriculum and thoughtful co-curricular experiences. Embedded in an ever-changing global context, Elizabethtown promotes the developmental, collaborative and complex nature of learning. In seeking to ‘Educate for Service,’ we believe students perform no greater service than when they share their knowledge and creativity with others. \r\n\r\nChallenged to take responsibility for their education, our students embark on a journey of self-transformation that involves intellectual, social and personal growth. Students are encouraged to develop and challenge their own values, while seeking to understand and appreciate alternative perspectives. The impact of an Elizabethtown College education is long-lasting and far-reaching. Students acquire new habits of mind and heart, some in the course of the undergraduate experience, others as students grow beyond college.
