The Fiske Guide to Colleges 2023<\/em> has once again included Earlham among the nation\u2019s \u201cbest and most interesting\u201d institutions of higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m delighted that Fiske has recognized Earlham\u2019s distinctive approach to connecting students\u2019 academic, career and co-curricular interests,\u201d Earlham President Anne Houtman said. \u201cThrough our Epic Journey program<\/a>, every student embarks on an experience of their own design that combines our strengths in classroom teaching with outstanding career-focused opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fiske Guide pointed to Earlham\u2019s commitment to career preparation, including the Epic Advantage, which guarantees funding for every student to participate in an internship, research experience or community-based project before graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
