Think of those moments when you feel most alive — that spark you feel when something clicks and the world feels bigger and brighter.

This is what college should feel like.

Earlham’s academic excellence, global experiences, friendships with trailblazing yet down-to-earth professors, and customized college-to-career program ignite your spark into a flame.

Earlhamites do extraordinary things (and so can you!)

  • Experience a Top 100 Liberal Arts & Sciences College and Best Value School (U.S. News & World Report)
  • 56% of students study abroad (compared to 9% nationwide)
  • $5,000 towards an internship, research project or custom career experience across the globe
  • 42 Fulbright awardees, 4 Rhodes Scholars, 2 Nobel Prize winners
  • Ranked Best Classroom Experience by The Princeton Review (here, you’ll be taught by trailblazing faculty, NOT TAs)

Of course, we’re proud of our stats, but not as proud as we are of our students who live successful lives of impact, joy, and purpose.
