Eckerd College
Eckerd College is a residential, private, liberal arts and sciences college located on 188 acres of waterfront property on the Gulf Coast of Florida. We’re one of only 45 schools in our nation to be a member of Colleges That Change Lives and one of just 10% of U.S. colleges with a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. Our academic program features 42 majors, a 12:1 student/faculty ratio, robust undergraduate research and ample service learning opportunities. We take pride in pairing every student with a faculty mentor to develop a personal four-year plan and integrating sustainability into our campus lifestyle and academics. Eckerd is ranked No. 1 in the nation for student participation in short-term study abroad. Almost 90% of our graduates earn their degree in four years or fewer, and 94% of our alumni are employed or continuing their education within one year after graduating. The average early-career salary for our graduates is $64,400, which is a testament to Eckerd’s return on investment! We invite you to Think Outside with us.
