Why Etown?
When submitting your college application in Pennsylvania as a homeschooled or cyber-schooled student, you have a lot of things to consider. Our campus community is a great place for you to experience a college setting. Small classes, a friendly community and mentorship programs help new students adjust to life on campus.
We Educate for Service
Our students work, learn, and live by our motto 'Educate for Service'. Whether it is service through community advocacy, work with faith-based organizations, or any culmination of service projects they choose to undertake, we encourage our students to do good in the world regardless of what they do or how they do it. Our students have the opportunity to share and explore the values that make them unique, and work with others in a meaningful and empowering way.
A Personalized Experience
Our 13:1 student to faculty ratio is perfect for students looking for personal attention in the classroom. This allows our faculty to develop strong connections with their students, providing an individualized educational experience and opportunities for mentorship. When you arrive on campus for your first semester, you are provided with faculty advisors and student mentors through our First Year Seminar (FYS) program. You’ll meet your advisor and mentors during orientation, and they’ll be close by to help you throughout your transition to college during the first semester. After the first semester, you’ll receive an advisor from your academic department. Almost all of our faculty members are full time, which provides our students with flexible access to their professors in and out of class.
A Student-Centered CultureActive Campus Community
We don’t just promise a supportive, caring, and vibrant community, we live it with 85% of our students living on our beautiful 204-acre campus. Etown’s student-centered culture is at the heart of everything we do, from being known for faculty mentoring to connecting students to nearby city centers for internship and
career opportunities to the way we intentionally bridge community life, service, athletics, arts, and academics so you can discover your most fulfilling path. With more than 80
student organizations to choose from, it is easy for you to get involved from day one. Our large selection of clubs and student-groups encompass a wide scope of interests and academic disciplines, ranging from multiple faith-based student groups, to groups devoted to the arts and theater, and everything in between. Outside of our organized groups, we also offer multiple opportunities for students to get involved in campus activities from world-renowned speakers to student-run events (movies, improv comedy, field-games) to intramural sports and wellness events.
