ABOUT Lake Erie college
Our Mission and Vision

Our
History
Get to Know Us
Lake Erie College has over 165 years of rich heritage and tradition that has served as the foundation for what our college is all about. We started as one of the first women's colleges in the Western Reserve area, and some of our earliest graduates became prominent leaders of the women's suffrage movement. It's that kind of passion and sense of responsibility that Lake Erie College has tried to instill in our students through our campus traditions and culture.

Some of the prominent buildings on Lake Erie College's campus in Painesville, Ohio, have been around since its conception. Most notably, College Hall was where some of the first classes were held when the college opened its Painesville location in 1859. Other buildings have come and gone since then, but our campus remains a source of inspiration and historical significance for both our students and the surrounding community.
