Greetings from the President

Welcome!

Lebanon Valley College is well known for its guaranteed scholarship program, four-year graduation and housing guarantees, beautiful campus, and friendly and accessible faculty. As you look for the best college for you, be sure to ask a few questions: How large are the classes? Do professors involve students in their research? Are they available if you need extra help? Will you be taught by professors, or will your classes be led by graduate students? The answers will have a major impact on the quality of your education.

At LVC, we believe that hard work should be rewarded and that a quality education can be affordable. If you finished in the top 30 percent of your high school class, we guarantee a scholarship of up to 50 percent off tuition for all four years if you maintain good grades. That is one of the reasons U.S. News & World Report has acknowledged us as among the top three schools in our category for “Best Value” these past two years.

Here, because of our small size and personal attention, you will be able to conduct hands-on research with faculty ranging from the sciences to art to economics. You will receive the support to study abroad, to be involved with community service and student leadership, participate with one of our 23 NCAA athletic teams or over 90 social, religious, and educational student organizations, prepare for a career of your choice, and make lifelong friendships with classmates and faculty alike.

I hope that as you look over these pages, you’ll begin to understand why so many of our students say that LVC “feels like home.” And I hope that looking at these pages will make you want to come for a personal visit so that you can experience directly the reality of this very special place. You will be welcome at Lebanon Valley College.

Stephen C. MacDonald, President
