A diverse, international and progressive school in a small conservative mid-western town may be the best way to sum up Earlham. The student population includes 37% students -of - color and 15% International students coming from 81 countries. A school governed by the Quaker philosophy of consensus, the school and students strive to create a community of mutual understanding and respect for all. Classes center around discussion rather than lecture. Accordingly the focus of people’s energy is on intellect, activism and community service with less attention towards astetics. Popular majors include Psychology, Peace and Global Studies, Japanese Studies, Social Justice, Biology and Chemistry, Human Development and Social Relations, Art and English. 72% of the students travel abroad. 75% eventually pursue graduate study. May term allows students the opportunity to travel with professors for intense learning experiences outside the classroom and often internationally.
The campus is very simple. There is no Greek life but there are many student organizations and activities. It is a small school approximately 1,100 undergraduate and 1,000 graduate students.
