An Etown education is for people who feel the pull to contribute to the world. For more than 125 years, Elizabethtown College has prepared students to discover their calling, pursue purposeful work, and lead with integrity. Our graduates become doctors, coders, therapists, entrepreneurs, journalists, CEOs, engineers, social workers, inventors, teachers, musicians, filmmakers, lawyers, and government leaders. They become the changemakers, communicators, and community leaders the world needs more of.
We are nationally recognized by U.S. News & World Report, Princeton Review, and Forbes for academic quality, graduate outcomes, and value. That recognition is supported by our recent alumni — 94% share they are employed or continuing their education within one year of graduation. At Elizabethtown College, we believe that a transformative education, rooted in our Educate for Service mission, should be within reach for every student.
Our recently launched $40 million Build Brighter Futures campaign expands scholarship support to make the Etown experience more accessible while giving students the freedom to focus on discovery, leadership, and service without the burden of financial barriers.
