01. What the School is Known For

From the School

Knox College is an independent-minded, uncannily smart four-year residential college. We're home to transformative teachers, classes, and learning opportunities, plus 1,200 brilliantly original human beings from everywhere on the planet. We believe that every experience is an education, that every new venture, every fantastic idea, every great journey, is human-powered. We also believe you learn the most from the people least like you. Knox is one of the 25 most diverse liberal arts colleges in America, with a campus community of 1,200 students from 45 states and 49 countries, including a wide array of races, ethnicities, ages, cultures, backgrounds, genders and gender identities, sexual orientations, and beliefs.

A Knox education is not something you sit and watch—it's something you do. Our students test their knowledge by applying theory to practice both in and out of the classroom. That can take the form of advanced research and creative work, internships, off-campus (sometimes way off-campus) programs, community service, or some combination of your own devising. We help make these experiences possible with a $2,000 Power of Experience Grant available to all incoming students during their junior and senior years.

These experiences, combined with opportunities to live and learn with students from different backgrounds, empower students to find success after Knox. Our students become engaged, innovative, and productive global citizens, ready to lead lives of purpose. They run Fortune 500 companies and grassroots nonprofits, they conduct major research at sites around the world, they found startups and music festivals, they see a human need and they meet it.

Our future is also rooted in our past. The commitment to put learning to use to accomplish both personal and social goals dates back to the founding of the College in 1837. We take particular pride in the College's early commitment to increase access to all qualified students of varied backgrounds, races, and conditions, regardless of financial means.

Today, we continue to expand that historic mission and the tradition of active liberal arts learning. We provide an environment where students and dedicated faculty work closely together and where teaching is characterized by inviting and expecting students to pursue fundamental questions in order to reach their own reflective but independent judgments. Our aim is to foster a lifelong love of learning and a sense of competence, confidence, and proportion that will enable us to live with purpose and to contribute to the well-being of others.

What students say:

Students have been known to thank the "college admission gods" for their good fortune in being part of the Knox community. Students are quick to assure that "you'll meet a lot of people very fast, and by the end of your first term, you'll already be good friends with a pretty big portion of the student body." Camaraderie also develops quickly as a result of the Pumphandle, an event prior to the start of fall courses where each student shakes hands with every other student. Students find that their peers are a "highly diverse combination of creative, intellectual minds." As one student says, "Everyone at Knox is a little eccentric; we embrace each other's differences." In fact, students take pride in their "Knoxwardness" and advise that the best way to "fit in [is] by being themselves."

What students say

Knox College offers students a "well-rounded liberal arts program" with a "great academic reputation." Known for valuing "independent initiative," Knox students can be found "commonly studying two vastly different subjects and allowing them to merge into one interdisciplinary interest." One student chose to attend Knox because "I knew that I would be allowed to be myself, choose the classes that I felt would have the most influence on my education and prepare me for the future." To support student independence and depth of study, Knox has an academic calendar that allows for "a semester's worth of coursework in a ten-week period" as well as an extended break between the fall and winter terms in which students can engage in research or internships. Students report that this system also "promotes better study habits and more attention focused on each class."

Students appreciate that they are "academically challenged without fierce competition," though they admit that courses can be "tough and require a lot of time studying, reading, writing, and thinking." Don't plan to come to Knox "if you want to shy away from class discussion." Student opinions are taken seriously. Administration and faculty "not only encourage the students to take charge and make change, but they listen and act on the student body's opinions." In so doing, Knox succeeds in "staying in tune with its roots as a progressive and accessible institution."

05. Campus LifeScroll to Top  Scroll To Top Arrow

What students say:

Students share that "when we want to do something fun, we typically organize it ourselves." Students can join any of the over 80 student-led clubs and student organizations on campus, and they delight in "artistic expression, be it poetry, visual art, performance art, music." Students also enjoy Thursday night jazz on campus, as well as a lively athletics scene. Some 70% of students participate in a varsity, club, or intramural sport. Fun on campus also comes courtesy of the Union Board, which "brings films, entertainers, concerts, and other groups to campus, including Second City," and sponsors movie nights that feature a 24-foot inflatable screen. Knox does have a Greek scene with four sororities and five fraternities. Students "go to parties, play games, dance, etc., just like any other college campus. The difference is our fraternity parties are open to the entire campus and do not serve alcohol." Fraternity parties are known as "places where you generally know everyone there, you have a good time, and no one steals your coat or purse." Students agree that their favorite on-campus event is Flunk Day, a 100-year-old tradition that takes place on a secret date each year. Recent Flunk Days have included obstacle courses, carnival games, rides, and live performances. One student describes it as "a day every spring when classes are canceled, and the entire campus goes out on the lawn and plays games, eats great food, and enjoys free entertainment."

01. Overview

From the School

Knox College is an independent-minded, uncannily smart four-year residential college. We're home to transformative teachers, classes, and learning opportunities, plus 1,200 brilliantly original human beings from everywhere on the planet. We believe that every experience is an education, that every new venture, every fantastic idea, every great journey, is human-powered. We also believe you learn the most from the people least like you. Knox is one of the 25 most diverse liberal arts colleges in America, with a campus community of 1,200 students from 45 states and 49 countries, including a wide array of races, ethnicities, ages, cultures, backgrounds, genders and gender identities, sexual orientations, and beliefs.

A Knox education is not something you sit and watch—it's something you do. Our students test their knowledge by applying theory to practice both in and out of the classroom. That can take the form of advanced research and creative work, internships, off-campus (sometimes way off-campus) programs, community service, or some combination of your own devising. We help make these experiences possible with a $2,000 Power of Experience Grant available to all incoming students during their junior and senior years.

These experiences, combined with opportunities to live and learn with students from different backgrounds, empower students to find success after Knox. Our students become engaged, innovative, and productive global citizens, ready to lead lives of purpose. They run Fortune 500 companies and grassroots nonprofits, they conduct major research at sites around the world, they found startups and music festivals, they see a human need and they meet it.

Our future is also rooted in our past. The commitment to put learning to use to accomplish both personal and social goals dates back to the founding of the College in 1837. We take particular pride in the College's early commitment to increase access to all qualified students of varied backgrounds, races, and conditions, regardless of financial means.

Today, we continue to expand that historic mission and the tradition of active liberal arts learning. We provide an environment where students and dedicated faculty work closely together and where teaching is characterized by inviting and expecting students to pursue fundamental questions in order to reach their own reflective but independent judgments. Our aim is to foster a lifelong love of learning and a sense of competence, confidence, and proportion that will enable us to live with purpose and to contribute to the well-being of others.

What students say

Knox College offers students a "well-rounded liberal arts program" with a "great academic reputation." Known for valuing "independent initiative," Knox students can be found "commonly studying two vastly different subjects and allowing them to merge into one interdisciplinary interest." One student chose to attend Knox because "I knew that I would be allowed to be myself, choose the classes that I felt would have the most influence on my education and prepare me for the future." To support student independence and depth of study, Knox has an academic calendar that allows for "a semester's worth of coursework in a ten-week period" as well as an extended break between the fall and winter terms in which students can engage in research or internships. Students report that this system also "promotes better study habits and more attention focused on each class."

Students appreciate that they are "academically challenged without fierce competition," though they admit that courses can be "tough and require a lot of time studying, reading, writing, and thinking." Don't plan to come to Knox "if you want to shy away from class discussion." Student opinions are taken seriously. Administration and faculty "not only encourage the students to take charge and make change, but they listen and act on the student body's opinions." In so doing, Knox succeeds in "staying in tune with its roots as a progressive and accessible institution."

06. Student BodyScroll to Top  Scroll To Top Arrow

What students say:

Students have been known to thank the "college admission gods" for their good fortune in being part of the Knox community. Students are quick to assure that "you'll meet a lot of people very fast, and by the end of your first term, you'll already be good friends with a pretty big portion of the student body." Camaraderie also develops quickly as a result of the Pumphandle, an event prior to the start of fall courses where each student shakes hands with every other student. Students find that their peers are a "highly diverse combination of creative, intellectual minds." As one student says, "Everyone at Knox is a little eccentric; we embrace each other's differences." In fact, students take pride in their "Knoxwardness" and advise that the best way to "fit in [is] by being themselves."

08. Campus LifeScroll to Top  Scroll To Top Arrow

What students say:

Students share that "when we want to do something fun, we typically organize it ourselves." Students can join any of the over 80 student-led clubs and student organizations on campus, and they delight in "artistic expression, be it poetry, visual art, performance art, music." Students also enjoy Thursday night jazz on campus, as well as a lively athletics scene. Some 70% of students participate in a varsity, club, or intramural sport. Fun on campus also comes courtesy of the Union Board, which "brings films, entertainers, concerts, and other groups to campus, including Second City," and sponsors movie nights that feature a 24-foot inflatable screen. Knox does have a Greek scene with four sororities and five fraternities. Students "go to parties, play games, dance, etc., just like any other college campus. The difference is our fraternity parties are open to the entire campus and do not serve alcohol." Fraternity parties are known as "places where you generally know everyone there, you have a good time, and no one steals your coat or purse." Students agree that their favorite on-campus event is Flunk Day, a 100-year-old tradition that takes place on a secret date each year. Recent Flunk Days have included obstacle courses, carnival games, rides, and live performances. One student describes it as "a day every spring when classes are canceled, and the entire campus goes out on the lawn and plays games, eats great food, and enjoys free entertainment."
