About

Elizabethtown College, offers its 2,000 students over 45 majors and more than 80 minors and concentrations in the liberal arts, sciences and professional studies. The College provides undergraduate education, continuing education, and graduate education. A 11:1 FTE student-to-faculty ratio and average class size of 17 provides students with meaningful interactions with professors, 90% of whom hold a Ph.D. or terminal degree in their field. FOUNDED IN 1899, THE INSTITUTION ORIGINALLY OPERATED AS AN ACADEMY, OFFERING A LIMITED CURRICULUM. IN 1921, THE PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION ACCREDITED THE COLLEGE AND AUTHORIZED IT TO GRANT BACHELOR'S DEGREES IN THE ARTS AND SCIENCES. IN MAY 1948, ELIZABETHTOWN WAS ACCREDITED BY THE MIDDLE STATES ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGE AND SCHOOLS. SINCE THE LATE 1940'S, ELIZABETHTOWN HAS GROWN SIGNIFICANTLY - IN STUDENT AND FACULTY POPULATION, IN ACADEMIC AND CO-CURRICULAR OFFERINGS AND IN THE NUMBER AND QUALITY OF CAMPUS FACILITIES. TO PROVIDE THE SUPERIOR CLASSROOMS AND CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY NECESSARY TO PREPARE STUDENTS FOR THEIR FUTURE, THE COLLEGE HAS ENHANCED ITS FACILITIES SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. TODAY, THE 200-ACRE SUBURBAN CAMPUS IS A BEAUTIFUL MARRIAGE OF STATELY 1900S ARCHITECTURE - SYMBOLIC OF THE COLLEGE'S CENTURY-OLD HERITAGE - AND STATE-OF-THE-ART ACADEMIC AND CO-CURRICULAR BUILDINGS. SINCE 1990, THE COLLEGE HAS ADDED SEVERAL NEW BUILDINGS THAT GREATLY ENRICH THE ELIZABETHTOWN EXPERIENCE, INCLUDING THE HIGH LIBRARY, LEFFLER CHAPEL AND PERFORMANCE CENTER, STUDENT RESIDENCE FACILITIES AND ATHLETIC FACILITIES. DURING THIS PERIOD, ZUG MEMORIAL HALL ALSO WAS TRANSFORMED INTO A PERFORMING AND FINE ARTS TEACHING CENTER, COMPLETE WITH AN ART GALLERY, A RECITAL HALL AND AN ON-CAMPUS MUSIC THERAPY CLINIC. THE BROSSMAN COMMONS - A $12-MILLION EXPANSION OF STUDENT FACILITIES THAT CONJOINED THE BAUGHER STUDENT CENTER AND THE ANNENBERG CENTER - ALSO WAS CONSTRUCTED. THE JAMES B. HOOVER CENTER FOR BUSINESS OPENED AS THE HOME FOR THE COLLEGE'S PERENNIALLY STRONG BUSINESS PROGRAM IN FALL 2006. ITS MODERN FACILITIES PROVIDE OUR STUDENTS WITH A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH THEY CAN GAIN THE EXPERIENCE NEEDED TO HANDLE REAL-WORLD BUSINESS ISSUES WITH EXPERTISE AND INTEGRITY. THIS BUILDING ALSO HOUSES THE EDWARD R. MURPHY CENTER FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION AND DISTANCE LEARNING, WHICH PROVIDES A VARIETY OF LEARNING PROGRAMS FOR ADULT LEARNERS, AND THE S. DALE HIGH CENTER FOR FAMILY BUSINESS, WHICH PROVIDES SUPPORT TO CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA'S FAMILY BUSINESSES. IN FALL 2008, THE COLLEGE COMPLETED THE FINAL PHASE OF THE MASTERS CENTER FOR SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS AND ENGINEERING. THIS FACILITY - WHICH INCLUDES THE NEW LYET WING FOR BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES - PROVIDES THE CLASSROOMS, MODERN LABORATORIES AND RESEARCH FACILITIES ESSENTIAL FOR A 21ST-CENTURY SCIENCE EDUCATION.
