Why a “college” and not a “university”?

Lycoming College is ranked by U.S. New & World Report as one of only 213 National Liberal Arts Colleges. Within the United States, colleges focus exclusively on undergraduate education, so rather than vie with graduate students for campus resources and faculty attention, at Lycoming College, you and your fellow undergraduate students are our exclusive interest. The vast majority of our courses are taught by full-time faculty members who have dedicated their professional lives to helping undergraduate students earn a stellar four-year Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree. Over 90 percent of our faculty hold a Ph.D. or the highest degree in their field of study.
