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.
Our Presidential Scholarship program rewards academic achievement. For all Presidential Scholarship recipients, we will make the net cost at Elizabethtown lower than or comparable to the cost of tuition, fees, and room and board charged to in-state residents at the largest public Pennsylvania universities.
