School Description

Provided by Lake Erie College

In the context of a long liberal arts tradition, Lake Erie College provides distinctive undergraduate and graduate programs that prepare students to meet career and life challenges as educated and responsible citizens of local, national and international communities.

For over 151 years, Lake Erie College has been educating students for the world after college. WeCollege Hall combine a liberal arts education with practical "real-life" experiences. We promote study abroad, offer opportunities for internships both in the U.S. and internationally and, through our curriculum, we address the needs of students who will work in a world that is increasingly interdependent. Our students learn to communicate effectively, think critically and creatively and make informed decisions. The size of the College allows students to develop leadership skills and take an active role in various student organizations and in the development of new student programs.

Lake Erie College emphasizes the individual, not the "masses." Our classes are taught by professors, not graduate students. Classes are small, allowing students and professors to know one another. We can honestly say that everyone "will know your name." Not only will the faculty and majority of the Lake Erie staff recognize you, but we care deeply about the success, development and happiness of our students.

Although we are proud of our institutional heritage, dating back to 1856, we understand fully our commitment and responsibility to prepare students to become local, regional, national and international leaders for the 21st-century world.

Our liberal arts curriculum, regardless of a student’s particular major, provides critical thinking skills and critical writing expertise that will be necessary and worthwhile intellectual characteristics for success and leadership in the future.

Our faculty members are dedicated to the idea and ideals of a liberal arts curriculum, and our small class sizes and the access that students have to professors help to define our values and purposes as a campus community.

Lake Erie College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Lake Erie College is a private liberal arts college that is located in Painesville, Ohio, approximately east of Cleveland. As of the 2005-2006 academic year, the enrollment was 653 undergraduates and 270 graduate students. In October of 2007, Lake Erie College had taken evacuees from the Painesville Train Derailment in which a CSX train carrying ethanol and other hazardous materials derailed.

Lake Erie is best known for its equine studies program, which attracts students from across the country, and around the world, and is the most popular major at the college. The Humphrey Equestrian Center is located to the south of the main campus, in Concord Township.

Prior to 1986, it was one of three remaining women's colleges in Ohio, along with Ursuline College and Notre Dame College, the latter of which is also now co-educational.

Athletics

Known as the Lake Erie College Storm, the College is currently an independent member of NCAA's Division II, with 13 varsity teams. The College offers basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, track & field, lacrosse and volleyball for women and baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, lacrosse and track & field for men. The college was formerly a member of the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) of Division III through the 2007-08 academic year. Lake Erie also offers football at the club level until the team earns full-fledged varsity status in the fall of 2008. The 2007 Storm football team had Lake Catholic High School as its guest halftime band.

In 2006-07, the Storm had six of a possible seven teams make it to the conference playoffs, with men's basketball earning an AMCC regular season championship and conference tournament championship for the second consecutive season. The nationally-ranked men's basketball team, coached by former Ohio High-School coach of the year, Cliff Hunt, also made it to the second round of the NCAA Championship while being ranked as the number one team in the Great Lakes Region throughout the entire year.
