The Lebanon Valley College community will help you find out who you will be and how you will fit into the world, starting with the high-quality academics you will get in any of our majors. We promise. Your professors will hold you to the highest standards to make sure you're ready for a rewarding career and a meaningful life.
Through Constellation LVC, you'll develop the skills necessary for success in the 21st century: writing, speaking, critical reading and analysis, information literacy, quantitative reasoning, intercultural competence, problem-solving, and integration.
Our core curriculum features six components that allow you to develop these skills at multiple points in the curriculum.
Participate in small, seminar-style classes on particular topics and gain a foundation in the core skills essential to your success. Bond with your classmates and mentors. Participate in one course each of your first two semesters.
Choose a topic reflecting your interest and explore that topic from three disciplinary perspectives in the natural sciences, humanities, and social sciences. You can pursue your interests within Constellation LVC and integrate information from a variety of perspectives.
Apply your learning in a real-world context, whether through an internship, directing a play, leading a service trip, writing a book, or conducting research alongside a faculty member.
Through any or all of these LVC experiences, you'll refine your skills, learn new ones, and get a jump start on your career. Your professors will be by your side, guiding you and connecting you with opportunities. LVC's Center for Global Education will advise you to select and apply to study abroad and study away programs.
Courses taken through study abroad programs approved by the Center for Global Education will have their credits/instructional hours and grades converted to LVC equivalent credits and grades, with credit ultimately awarded according to the College transfer credit policy. Students will have planned courses pre-approved for transfer before their study abroad program begins. Students enrolled in a study approved for credit by LVC will be considered enrolled at LVC to apply for federal financial aid.
LVC graduates are smart, prepared for graduate school and careers, adept at critical thinking and communicating, and empowered to make a difference in the world.
Other than residential living and meals, all services provided by the student affairs staff are available to full-time commuting students. But don't feel left out! There's even a specific meal plan designed just for commuting students. Stop by the Center for Student Engagement for details.
The Lebanon Valley College campus has numerous open spaces and lounges for studying and hanging out between classes and activities. However, The Commuter Center, located in the Lebegern Learning Commons on the Allan W. Mund College Center's lower level, serves as the College's central commuter hub. The Commuter Center is used for dining, studying, and relaxing, and includes a microwave, water cooler, and refrigerator for students who wish to bring their lunch.
Additional spaces specifically desirable to commuting students are the newly renovated Vernon & Doris Bishop Library, the Lynch Technology Center, and the LVC Health and Sports Center.
Lebanon Valley College offers students a wide variety of occupations across campus that enhance their academic experiences and assist faculty, staff, administrators, and the surrounding community.
