Arkansas' High Quality Liberal Arts College
by Daniel Z. Kane
Would it surprise you to find two noteworthy liberal arts colleges within the borders of Arkansas?
Lyon College is one of the two. While well respected by educators and publications like "U.S. News and World Report", Lyon does not now enjoy the high profile of some of its better known peers.
But, Lyon is able to attract its fair share of solid students from more than twenty states and fifteen nations. A full quarter score above 29 on the ACT and most rank in the top quarter of their high school class.
Students can't get lost at Lyon even if they want to, with small classes and a total student body of about 500.
Further contributing to Lyon's feeling of smallness and community is the fact that close to 90% of its students choose to live on campus.
Among Lyon's other distinguishing features is an Honor Code that could serve as a model for other colleges, and numerous opportunities fro meaningful study overseas.
Now for the nice surprise. Lyon is priced well below many similar colleges.
Lyon appears to be a good choice for students who seek a high quality, personalized educational experience in a small campus community. If that's what you're looking for, check it out.
