What makes Lake Erie College a unique place?

The personal attention provided to the students at LEC sets us apart from larger universities. Professors grade all student work and personally design and oversee all laboratory experiences. Students are not put into the hands of teaching assistants. This creates a more interactive experience for the student. In addition, these same professors are responsible for advising and providing one-on-one guidance to the students. This, along with the small class sizes, give the Lake Erie College campus a family type of feel. Our alumni frequently come back to visit and recreate that feeling.
