About Lewis & Clark College
What the world needs most is what Lewis & Clark does best.
Lewis & Clark is the only college in the nation that brings together challenging, supportive academics, an institutional commitment to sustainability, leadership in overseas and off-campus study, and an inclusive, welcoming community. The icing on the (Voodoo!) donut is that we do this on arguably the most beautiful campus in the U.S. in the cool, progressive city of Portland, Oregon.
All of our 29 majors and 33 minors prepare you for career success, plus we offer something most other liberal arts colleges do not: clear and direct pathways to our Graduate School of Education and Counseling and our Law School as part of our 4-5-6 Commitment!
At Lewis & Clark, our academics inspire you, our professors mentor you, and our community embraces you.
