Elizabethtown College
About
Located in scenic Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Elizabethtown College is a highly-ranked private institution best known for its "Educate for Service" mission and nationally recognized programs in occupational therapy, engineering, and business. The student experience is defined by a warm, relationship-centered campus culture where undergraduates collaborate closely with faculty mentors, participate in competitive NCAA Division III athletics, and engage in diverse student-run organizations. A key differentiator is the college's commitment to guaranteed experiential learning, which requires every student to complete at least two "Signature Learning Experiences," such as internships, undergraduate research, or cross-cultural study, before graduation. This hands-on academic preparation, paired with a beautiful campus featuring the iconic Lake Placida, equips graduates with both the practical skills and the civic-minded perspective needed to thrive in their careers.
