U.S. News and World Report has recognized Lycoming as one of the top regional colleges in the United States. It is something that Lycoming alumni have quietly known for years. The reasons are simple. All of Lycoming s resources and faculty are dedicated to the undergraduate education of just 1500 students.
Classes are small and all faculty members teach.
With a 13 to 1 ratio of students to faculty, classes of five or ten students are not uncommon, while even large introductory courses average about 30 students. This means abundant opportunities for individual attention by a faculty truly committed to teaching. Lycoming students are superbly prepared to meet the challenges of life through an academic program that includes both breadth of study in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences and depth of study in at least one area of concentration. Those areas of concentration include bachelor of arts programs in 33 major fields, and a bachelor of science in three major fields. Those who intend to continue in medicine, dentistry, law, the ministry or teaching will find excellent preprofessional preparation.
