- Lake Forest College is a coeducational undergraduate institution located just 30 miles north of Chicago in the small city of Lake Forest, Illinois. One of the most beautiful suburbs on Chicago’s North Shore, Lake Forest provides a secure, supportive environment for the College. The beautiful 107-acre campus sits just a few blocks from Lake Michigan.
- Lake Forest College was founded in 1857 by a group of Chicagoans who also established the town of Lake Forest. The College has 18 departmental and 8 interdisciplinary majors, plus minors and special programs.
- Lake Forest provides a superb traditional liberal arts education and does so in ways that are distinctive, even exceptional. Working side-by-side with distinguished faculty, students acquire a strong and lasting academic foundation in the classroom. The student-professor ratio is 12 to 1, and most classes have between 10 and 20 students, so students feel comfortable expressing their opinions or asking for help.
