Interdisciplinary Studies

About a quarter of Earlham students major in interdisciplinary programs, including Peace and Global Studies, Human Development and Social Relations, Japanese Studies, Latin American Studies, African and African American Studies and Women’s Studies. All students benefit from a curriculum that threads interdisciplinary experience through every student’s education.

Global Reach

About 60 percent of Earlham students complete a semester or a year of off-campus study during their undergraduate years. Our foreign study programs provide intense engagement with other cultures, often involving opportunities for living with a family and for community service. Whether on or off campus, Earlham’s educational programs engage students with an increasingly interconnected global society.

Experiential Learning

Many courses and programs at Earlham involve a significant experiential component, including internships, community service, field projects or laboratory science activities. Students are also asked to reflect upon their experiences.

Collaborative Projects

Increasingly, our students and faculty inquire, create and learn together, conducting research in small, collaborative groups. Faculty members model research planning and execution, students find exhilaration in an endeavor they have helped to shape, and the whole community learns from presentations of their work.

Networked Information Resources

Digital networks are quickly deepening the dialogue and enriching the information available to the campus community. Earlham has long been respected for networking information resources linking librarians with faculty and classrooms. Now networking expands students’ resources beyond the classroom with listservs, e-mail forums and Websites for various courses.

By stimulating faculty and student conversation and collaboration, our new building will catalyze the potential for further academic innovations and program strengthening.

"We are committed to moving ahead with this project not simply to construct a new building but to provide our educational programs the strongest possible foundation from which they can flourish in the future."
President Doug Bennett
