Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

There is no doubt that the academics at Lewis & Clark can be challenging, and students know when they need to be focusing. Every student has to fulfill the general education requirements, one of which is called Exploration and Discovery. This class is required for all freshmen and transfer students, and each "E and D" class, as it is casually called, has a distinct theme that the class is based on. While it can sometimes be an interesting and thought-provoking class, at other times, it can be the bane of students' existence. It all comes down to two things: how interested the professor is, and how invested the class is, which is usually pretty minimal.

As with most schools, there are "filler" classes and the classes that students have to put time into. At LC, it’s the teachers that make the difference between a "class" and a great class, and the great teachers are usually well-known throughout campus. Psychology is definitely the most popular major at LC, and the department does its best to help students find internship opportunities, which are sent out to students by email. LC is known for its massive study abroad program, which covers all corners of the globe, from Australia to India, and a good majority of undergraduate students participates in one of the many study abroad programs available. On the whole, while the size of the College may sometimes be stifling, students need to be willing and proactive in pursuing opportunities outside of the school.

Registration Process

With student in college I always heard signing up for classes was a pain since the server always fails and the classes are always full. Even my advisor warned me that the classes I wanted were the most popular ones and it would be hard to get all of them. However, I ran into no such problems. The server never failed on me and I was able to sign up for all the classes I wanted to with no problems in 5 minutes. Made the process very easy.

A Wonderful Program

The biology department at my school is very well formed. The professors are all very helpful and interesting--all coming from different areas of biology and bringing different experiences. The workload for a biology major is aimed perfectly for someone who is really interested in the subject. Not to mention the amazing study abroad options for biology majors that allow you to study abroad and focus on your major at the same time (in Africa or New Zealand!). My only complaint is that, because it is a smaller school, the array of classes is not as large as it could be, but the courses offered are all good choices.
