If you aren’t afraid to answer difficult questions and show who you really are, join us at Eugene Lang College. We seek innovative students with intellectual curiosity, a sense of purpose, and the ability to complete our distinctive liberal-arts degree program.

As a Lang student, you don’t simply learn to analyze problems; you learn how to create sustainable solutions. Rather than saddle you with numerous required courses in a single academic major, the college encourages you to explore highly interdisciplinary paths of study. That way, you can pursue connections among the humanities, arts, social sciences, and natural sciences. You choose from—and often crisscross—twelve paths: the arts; education studies; history; literature; cultural studies and media; philosophy; psychology; religious studies; science, technology, and society; social inquiry; urban studies; and writing.

Considered by Princeton Review the best college in the country for encouraging debate and discussion, Lang is becoming more competitive by the day. And it is growing in all the right ways. Currently, about 900 students are enrolled, making Lang significantly smaller than colleges like Reed and Swarthmore. Yet Lang has an enormous faculty. Between 2003 and 2006, more than 40 new full-time professors were hired—an unprecedented number by any measure.

If you think all this sounds pretty remarkable, you’re not the only one.
