About Lake Erie College

LEC provides students with a tailored, personalized college experience with a focus on empowerment.

For 160 years, Lake Erie College has been educating students for the world after college. We combine a liberal arts education with online degree flexibility and practical "real-life" experiences. We promote study abroad, offer opportunities for internships both in the U.S. and internationally and, through our curriculum, we address the needs of students who will work in a world that is increasingly interdependent. At LEC, students learn to communicate effectively, think critically and creatively and make informed decisions. Small class sizes empower students to develop leadership skills and take an active role in various student organizations and in the development of new student programs.

Our Mission and Vision

Lake Erie College emphasizes the individual, not the "masses." Our classes are taught by professors, not graduate students. Classes are small, allowing students and professors to know one another. We can honestly say that everyone "will know your name." Not only will the faculty and majority of the Lake Erie staff recognize you, but we care deeply about the success, development and happiness of our students.

We provide an excellent, inclusive and highly personalized education grounded in the liberal arts tradition. Guided by hope and care, our students are empowered to lead lives of personal significance and professional success as global citizens.

  • Self Discovery

    College is a transformative experience. Every academic course, collegiate sport or community program is designed to add to who you are.

  • Creative Problem Solving

    Our students are equipped to solve problems to become productive contributors in an ever-changing global society.

  • Personal Development

    We empower students to explore and develop strong personal attributes. Your personality is an illuminating piece of who you are!

  • Ethical Balance

    We teach students to balance their personal and professional goals with the needs of those around them in an ethical way
