I've been hearing a bit about Earlham College and am interested in learning more. Does anyone here know what makes Earlham special, or if they have any particular programs that they’re praised for? Thanks in advance for the help!
Great question about Earlham College! One of the things that stands out about Earlham is their commitment to experiential learning. Students have many opportunities to partake in hands-on learning experiences, including research projects with faculty members as early as their first year.
Additionally, Earlham is known for its strong programs in peace and global studies, which align with their Quaker roots. The college emphasizes social justice and encourages students to be active in local and global communities.
Furthermore, Earlham has a distinctive approach to assessment: they use narrative evaluations in addition to grades, which allows professors to provide more detailed feedback on students' work.
Lastly, their EPIC initiative (Earlham Program for an Integrated Curriculum) is designed to prepare students for life after college by connecting their liberal arts education with career paths and real-world experiences. This includes funded internships, project-based learning, and research opportunities.
Hope this provides a little insight into what makes Earlham a unique educational environment!
