At E-town, you are more than just a GPA or an SAT score. As a small liberal arts college in Pennsylvania , we value a well rounded and interdisciplinary curriculum . We embrace diverse backgrounds, abilities, experiences and interests. We are a community of athletes, artists, musicians, volunteers, scholars and advocates. Our Blue Jay family members are committed to helping each other succeed and improving the world around them.

Our four-year graduation rate already exceeds the national average which helps to keep your costs down and allows you to enter the job market sooner. If you meet the requirements and don’t graduate in four years, we will pay for the remaining credits—up to 16 in one year—needed to complete your degree.

Choosing where you will continue your education is one of the most important decisions you will make – and tuition and costs are often large deciding factors. We are committed to provide an excellent education at a cost that is accessible and affordable to everyone.
