School Notes:

• The College provides all of its students a general education within the liberal arts tradition of Western civilization. It sponsors and fosters, as well, some of the pre-professional and professional curricula which fit the demands of the society in which its students are immersed. As a private, independent college we are committed to providing a personalized education that allows students to reach their full potential.
• McKendree College offers 6 bachelor degree programs in 37 major areas of study. While our on-campus student body numbers nearly 1,400, more than 50 percent of our classes have fewer than 15 students. McKendree provides a low 15-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio. Classes are taught by professors, not graduate students or teaching assistants. More than 90 percent of our professors have the highest degrees in their fields.
• McKendree also offers graduate degrees in four areas. These include degrees in several areas of education: master of arts in professional counseling, master of business administration, master of arts in education and master of science in nursing. Our graduate programs are taught by full time McKendree faculty members and distinguished practioners working in their fields of study, all dedicated to our guiding principle of small classes and participative student involvement.
• The College is blessed with excellent facilities both in academic areas as well as in the dormitories. Our 100-acre campus in Lebanon, Illinois is 25 minutes from downtown St. Louis. Our Louisville, Kentucky campus is located at 11850 Commonwealth Drive in east Jefferson County and our Radcliff campus is located at 1635 W. Lincoln Trail Blvd., Radcliff, Kentucky.
