Ranked consistently among the top institutions in the North by U.S. News and World Report, Elizabethtown College offers its 1900 students 53 majors and more than 80 minors and concentrations in the liberal arts, sciences and professional studies. A 13:1 student-to-faculty ratio and average class size of 25 provides students with meaningful interactions with professors, 90% of whom hold a Ph.D. or terminal degree in their field.
