Bennington College is a small progressive liberal arts college in southwestern Vermont. With about 700 students on campus, we have redefined the progressive liberal arts since our start in the 1930s. Bennington students work with a committee of faculty advisors to develop their own unique, interdisciplinary educations by focusing on multiple areas of study. Students take their work out into the world for a six-week internship each winter as part of Field Work Term. Bennington students approach their studies in a deeply creative, intellectual, and real-world sense, inspiring each other to grow and make change in the world.

Franklin & Marshall is a private liberal arts college established in 1787 in Lancaster, PA, 60 miles west of Philadelphia. The College enrolls 2,400 students. The average class size is 16 students, and the faculty-to-student ratio is 9:1. Our students receive more than $500,000 in research grants every year.

At Franklin & Marshall, we emphasize learning by doing, not just by listening and watching. All students are lifelong members of a College House-five distinct hubs of academic, extracurricular and social engagement in a residential setting. Guided by faculty dons and administrative prefects, students govern their houses, develop leadership skills, and create their own social and intellectual programs.

Lincoln University was founded in 1854 as the nation's first degree-granting Historically Black College and University, or HBCU. Originally chartered as Ashmun Institute, it was re-named Lincoln University in 1866 in honor of President Abraham Lincoln.

Since the beginning, Lincoln has attracted an interracial and international enrollment from the surrounding community, region, and around the world. Today, our liberal arts and science-based degree programs serve a diverse student body, representing many cultures, countries, and career interests
