Lifelong Success, Powered by the Liberal Arts
Critical thinking skills at the core of all of your courses will prepare you to succeed and adapt in the constantly evolving global economy.
The liberal arts education I received at L&C prepared me tremendously for law school thanks to the critical thinking and writing skills I developed. My experience doing an honors thesis in biology and subsequently working to publish that research was incredibly impactful and helped me develop skills I use in my job today. Going to a small school allowed me to get a lot of direct mentorship, which is not always possible at larger schools.

Live Your Best Pacific Northwest Life
Lewis & Clark was made for Portland. Our open-minded, quirky city abounds with professional opportunities, music, restaurants, art, and fun. Our forested campus is a microcosm of the Pacific Northwest, and a springboard for mountain, beach, river, and desert adventures.
There is something for everybody in Portland. If you enjoy a vibrant city interlaced with natural beauty, interesting and creative people, and some of the best food in the country, then this is the city for you.
