arts and sciences education combined with communication,
international studies, and the humanities. Elmira is one of only

Breadth and Depth
By combining our liberal arts and sciences curriculum
with professional education, community service, an internship, and
an appreciation of the arts, our students
get a time-tested education that is ready for the 21st
century. This allows a balance between depth of knowledge acquired
through specialization and breadth of knowledge gained through
exploration.
Small Class Sizes
With our 12:1 faculty-student
ratio, our students know their professors and
their professors know them. Elmira College's faculty give students
their time and talent because they can.
A Choice that is Right for You

advisor.
