Lake Forest College is a community of 1,400 students from over 40 different states and 65 different countries a mere 30 miles from Chicago. We are active learners who go beyond the classroom experience and recognize engaged learning that may take the form of one-on-one research with faculty, study in a foreign country, an internship in a Fortune 500 Company, or independent study.
The combination of a rigorous curriculum with great faculty, internship and research opportunities, leadership skills gained through participation in student organizations, and the services of the Career Advancement Center give our students the EDGE on great jobs, graduate school placements, and more.
According to Forbes Magazine, Lake Forest College ranks in the top 100 of more than 3,000 colleges and universities nationwide. Forbes evaluates what colleges actually provide and students actually gain from their education, and bases its rankings on such things as student debt loads, alumni salary data, student evaluations of faculty, alumni listings in Who’s Who, and nationally competitive awards given students and faculty.
