Campus SummaryTOP
Lafayette College was founded in 1826 by the citizens of Easton. In an environment that fosters the free exchange of ideas, Lafayette College seeks to nurture the inquiring mind and to integrate intellectual, social and personal growth. The College strives to develop students' skills of critical thinking, verbal communication, and quantitative reasoning and their capacity for creative endeavor; it encourages students to examine the traditions of their own culture and those of others to develop systems of values that include an understanding of personal, social, and professional responsibility, and to regard education as an indispensible, life-long process.

Lafayette is one of the few strictly undergraduate schools to offer a course of study in the liberal arts, sciences and engineering. An exceptionally qualified faculty are committed to each student's success. This is truly a small college environment with large college resources.

Located just 70 miles west of New York City and 60 miles north of Philadelphia, the campus is consistently referred to as one of the most beautiful in the nation. Lafayette's diverse student body provides an enriching social and cultural experience with more than 200 student groups and special activities on campus. Students can explore new areas of interest, providing numerous opportunities for leadership and personal growth that include participation in 23 Division I intercollegiate sports, a variety of on-campus cultural enrichment programs, and a wide range of living groups such as fraternities, sororities, academic, cultural and other special-interest types of residential housing.


Unique/Special ProgramsTOP
Lafayette's approach to teaching goes well beyond traditional classroom methods. Through active learning experiences in small group seminars, student-centered team projects, independent study, and student/faculty research, students have the unique opportunity to cross often restrictive academic boundaries in the liberal arts, sciences and engineering. To expand their academic horizons, students also study abroad, participate in work/study experiential learning opportunities, and serve externships with alumni and internships in government and industry.
