- Chartered in 1855, Eureka was the first college in the state and third in the nation to admit men and
women on an equal basis. Throughout its long history, Eureka College has been affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples
of Christ). Eureka is located in central Illinois and is situated within thirty miles of the two metropolitan centers of
Peoria and Bloomington-Normal. The campus is a wooded 112 acres with twenty-four academic and residential buildings, an
open-air theatre, an arboretum, and facilities for football, baseball, softball, tennis, volleyball, basketball and swimming.
- Eureka College is a small, quality liberal arts college that provides its students with a personalized
learning and growing experience. The College offers 30 undergraduate majors and has an average class size of fifteen students
and a student-faculty ratio of 14:1. Many faculty have earned national and international recognition in their areas of
scholarship, such as social responses to alcoholism, slavery, lepidoptery, philosophy, and Native American literature.
- The academic program at Eureka College seeks to maintain a balance between requirements which all
students must meet and freedom for each student to select those courses which will best match and further one's own
interests, skills, and life plan. College requires that each student acquire and display skills in composition, and
mathematics. The College also requires that each student devote a portion of time to the study of humanities, fine and
performing arts, natural sciences, and social sciences. These distributional requirements insure that each student will have
the opportunity to explore that body of knowledge which is our common cultural heritage. The program at Eureka is rigorous
both in its goals and in the effect it demands, but the College believes it is also exciting and satisfying.
