Why Choose E-town?
While exploring schools throughout your college search, it’s important to find the campus that best fits with the personal and academic goals you have for your college experience. Our welcoming campus is the perfect place for transfer students to continue their education. With personalized classes, a friendly community and an integrated support system, we provide the resources you need to make your transition to a new college as seamless as possible.
Personalized Learning Experience
At E-town, we value the importance of small class sizes, personal classroom attention and a specialized learning experience. Our 13:1 student to faculty ratio allows our students to develop strong connections with their professors. We cap our classes at 35 students, but the average class contains just 18 students. These small classes allow all of our students to receive an individualized learning experience.
Welcoming Community
Our small campus has less than 1,800 students, which makes it easy for you to get to know your fellow Blue Jays. Although we’re small, we have a lively, diverse campus life. With 23 varsity sports teams and over 80 clubs, there’s plenty to do!
Strong Support System
We recognize the importance of mentors in the lives of college students, especially transfer students. Our faculty and staff are here to address your questions and help you transition to E-town. After joining our college community, you’ll be assigned a faculty advisor who can assist you with your academic decisions. We also have plenty of offices on campus to help with your other advising needs including: Career Services, Counseling Services, the Center for Student Success and the Office of Diversity.
