Knox College Recently Updated

Knox is a college that will change your life. Students are challenged academically with a liberal arts education with rich opportunities to study abroad, intern, and research. Experiential learning is key. Our immersion terms are a Knox-only experience—a focused, hands-on exploration of a single field of study over the course of an entire term. We continue to elevate students who are creative, brilliant, and motivated to improve our world.

We're a proudly, radically open community. When we were founded, we were one of the first colleges in America to admit women and students of color. Now we're one of the most diverse, international campuses in the country. Everyone counts here.

Experience-internships, independent research, service, study abroad-is built into our curriculum. We're rooted in a small city in the heart of the country; we put our education to work in communities around the world.

Our alumni do things like win two Emmys for investigative reporting; serve as CEO of Ford Motor China; create an open source mobile health system (and be named "one of the most influential people in the world" by Time); co-invent BASIC, a foundational language of computing; and so on. This is a human-powered community, at work in the world.
