Lake Forest College

If you don’t know, that’s okay. The whole idea of a Lake Forest liberal arts education is to expose you to a wide range of issues and ideas across the humanities, the physical and social sciences, and the arts to help you define the person you want to become. Furthermore, you will gain the skills most in demand in the working world. You will read, write and, most importantly, think critically.

Helping you get ready for a career is something Lake Forest takes very seriously.  From the moment you step foot on campus, you’re assigned a Career Advisor who will have your back. And while you’re here to get an education, we believe internships can play a critical role in your studies. It’s all part of getting you off on the right foot after college.  Best of all, we have the record to show it works: 96% of our students land jobs, attend graduate school, or pursue other chosen opportunities within 6-9 months after graduation.

We also appreciate that a Lake Forest education represents a substantial financial investment. We can help with that, too. Not only do we offer financial aid and scholarships to qualifying students, our Forester Flagship program can cover up to 100% of tuition.
