Knox College is an independent-minded, uncannily smart four-year residential college. We're home to transformative teachers, classes, and learning opportunities, plus 1,400 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 50 most diverse campuses in America, with a campus community of 1,400 students from nearly every state and 51 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.

Academic Programs
We believe that every experience is a kind of education. Everything you learn gains value when you apply it. That's why every Knox student will participate in some form of experiential learning before they graduate. All students receive a $2,000 Power of Experience Grant during their junior or senior year to support a qualifying experiential learning opportunity, including research or creative work, an internship, community service, or study abroad.
Our immersion terms allow students to focus on one topic (entrepreneurship, studio art, Japanese language and history, clinical psychology) for an entire term. They all provide hands-on experience—internships, research, travel, creative work. Two examples: In Green Oaks Term, students live at our biological field station, take interdisciplinary coursework in science, anthropology, and the arts, conduct research, and build a community. In Repertory Theatre Term, students research, design, produce, and perform two full-length plays—the most comprehensive undergraduate theatre experience in the country.
Knox has a longstanding (and pioneering) commitment to supporting advanced student research—intensive, long-term projects that go beyond coursework. The vast majority of our students (89%) produce research, independent studies, or creative work.
Half of our students study abroad, and our off-campus study programs—nearly 100 in total—are designed to work with the Knox experience. You take what you've studied at Knox out into the world; you gather new information, new ideas, new experiences; and you come back with a new way of seeing yourself, your education, and your future.
Our career center helps students find meaningful professional experience by making the most of their education, resources, and connections to secure internships and postgraduate opportunities across the country and around the world.
Majors and Degrees Offered
Knox's program provides a balanced curriculum in the arts, humanities, sciences, and social sciences. Our 3-3 academic calendar—three terms (fall, winter, and spring), three courses per term—allows students to fully explore course subject matter and fulfill research expectations.
With five new minors—arts management, astronomy, design, health studies, and statistics—we offer more than 60 courses of study. Many students double major; you can also design your own major. Choosing a major, and thinking broadly about the work you'll do in college and beyond, is in many ways a collaborative process, involving intensive conversations with peers, professors, counselors, and advisors (who are, in fact, professors).

Students Say
Students say that Knox College enjoys a “great academic reputation” for its dedication to providing a “well-rounded liberal arts program” that “values independent initiative,” while “staying in tune with its roots as a progressive and accessible institution.” The college has a saying about students having “the freedom to flourish.” The institution gives everyone “the appropriate space to grow on their own.” “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.” Students are highly encouraged to take classes outside of their majors. Undergraduates are “commonly studying two vastly different subjects and allowing them to merge into one interdisciplinary interest.” Knox does have “one of the best creative writing programs in the country,” as well as the Peace Corps Preparatory Program—Knox is the first college or university in the country to host the contemporary Peace Corps Preparatory Program. The academic trimester system, comprised of three classes each term, provides students with “a semester’s worth of course work in a ten-week period.” Many in the student body believe that this arrangement “promotes better study habits and more attention focused on each class,” which are “tough and require a lot of time studying, reading, writing, and thinking.” “You don’t come to Knox if you want to shy away from class discussion,” and professors “concentrate on the student having good critical thinking skills.” Students are pleased to find that “you are academically challenged without fierce competition.” “I’ve never had an easy professor, but I’ve always had reasonable ones.” Projects and presentations are common; if tests are given, there is an honor code, and “they trust you not to cheat.” The faculty and administration are spoken of highly, and they “not only encourage the students to take charge and make change, but they listen and act on the student body’s opinions.”

From The School
Clubs and Organizations: The one quality that binds our 100+ student clubs and organizations is that they are all student-driven. Students create and run organizations in response to interests and needs. Some clubs focus on academic disciplines such as chemistry or physics. Others, such as Common Ground, Model United Nations, and Allied Blacks for Liberty and Equality focus on identity, culture, and politics. And, our successful club-level Ultimate Frisbee team and our music, dance, and performance ensembles provide an athletic and creative energy that characterizes Knox.
Intramural Clubs: More than half of our students participate in some kind of organized athletic activity, from club sports (water polo, fencing, women's lacrosse); to intramurals (basketball, indoor soccer, softball, volleyball); to fitness classes organized and taught by students (a few recent examples: Balinese dancing, yoga).
Student Governance: Our student government actually governs. The Student Senate helps determine how funds from student activity fees are spent, makes student appointments to faculty committees, and serves as a forum for the debate of important issues on campus. Our students shape the future of Knox; their work is a lasting legacy.
Civic Engagement: We pride ourselves on being deeply engaged in the life of a strong, sustainable community—whether that community is local or global. Our students contribute tens of thousands of hours of service every year through established partnerships, special programs, and our KnoxCorps program. Knox was the first college or university in the country to offer an official Peace Corps Preparatory Program; we rank among the top producers of Peace Corps volunteers.

Students Say
Knox is praised throughout the campus for its “support for first-generation college students, which really reflects Knox’s history and values.” “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.” Many undergrads portray themselves as “weird,” with variations on a common theme: “We call it the “Knox awkward.” “The smart but sort of socially awkward kids in high school,” what they describe as their social “Knoxwardness.” “Everyone at Knox is a little eccentric, but we embrace each other’s differences.” “Students fit in by being themselves, no matter who they are.” As one student perceptively notes, there is a “highly diverse combination of creative, intellectual minds here. It’s as if every person here is some highly distinctive character from an artsy film.” Another puts it a bit more succinctly: “Thank you college admission gods.”
Campus Life
Campus Life
Overview
From The School
Location
Knox is located in Galesburg, Illinois (pop. 33,000), full of enterprising, big-hearted people. Galesburg was founded alongside Knox, surrounded by prairie and farmland. We are at the heart of a national rail network; there's an Amtrak station a few blocks from campus; Chicago (home to many Knox alumni) is three hours away. And two regional airports are less than an hour away.
The Knox campus consists of 90 acres located in the heart of Galesburg. While our campus is home to academic and administrative buildings, both historic and modern, residence halls, and athletic facilities, it also features wide-open spaces that provide beautiful prairie vistas and provides plenty of room for our Ultimate Frisbee team to practice alongside students studying on the lawn. Our own 700-acre Green Oaks Biological Field Station—one of the country's oldest prairie restoration sites—is 20 miles from campus.
And one last slightly esoteric note about this exact place: The land around us is fairly flat. No one lives high on a mountaintop or deep in a valley. There's something deeply democratic about this. We all have power. We all have a voice. We all stand on equal ground.
Campus Facilities & Equipment
Libraries:
Knox College maintains two libraries: Seymour Library and the Science-Mathematics Library, housing more than 350,000 volumes, as well as Special Collections & Archives, which contains primary source materials used by students, faculty, and researchers from around the world.
Arts:
The Ford Center for the Fine Arts houses theatre, dance, and music and features the 600-seat Harbach theatre (with a 360-degree rotating stage), the 325-seat Kresge Recital Hall, the Studio Theatre, as well as dance and music studios. Our new Whitcomb Art Center provides a state-of-the-art facility for students to study, create, and share their art.
Science:
Knox continues to expand an equipment roster that includes electron microscopes, NMR, ESR, GC-MS, other spectrometers and chromatographs, X-ray, laser labs, 3-D printers, experimental psychology labs, four computer labs, a rooftop observatory, and a greenhouse. Green Oaks Biological Field Station, about 20 miles east of Knox, encompasses 700 acres of tallgrass prairie, old-growth oaks, second-growth oak-hickory forest, lakes, and streams.
Athletics:
T. Fleming Fieldhouse provides an indoor six-lane 200-meter track and court space for numerous activities. Andrew Fitness Center offers separate cardio/weight machine and free-weight floors. Knosher Bowl, a true bowl stadium, features artificial turf and one of the best playing surfaces in Division III football. Blodgett Field is a pro-level baseball diamond, with special soil composition. Knox also maintains a main gym and basketball court, a six-lane outdoor track, softball and soccer fields, tennis courts, and natatorium. Golf is played at a nearby private 18-hole course.
Off-Campus Opportunities
A few of the many reasons to like Galesburg:
It knows what it is: It is not Chicago; it is not a tiny farm town. It is a small city (pop. 33,000) that was founded alongside a great liberal arts college, surrounded by prairie and farmland, with 23 city parks, a public beach, and wooded biking/walking trails.
It runs on collective ingenuity: If you have a great idea, it's easy to bring people together to bring it to life. Example: A Knox alumnus wanted to turn Seminary Street into a classic independent shopping district. Now it's home to locally owned cafes, restaurants, a natural foods store, and an antique mall.
People make art here: At the Prairie Players Civic Theatre or in the Knox-Rootabaga Jazz Festival. Plus: The Galesburg Civic Art Center hosts exhibits by local artists. The Knox-Galesburg Symphony Orchestra—featuring many Knox students—performs at the historic Orpheum Theatre.
You can make a difference here: Our students contribute thousands of hours of service in Galesburg every year, through long-standing programs like the Knox Prairie Community Kitchen, our Days of Service, and the groundbreaking KnoxCorps program, which places current students and recent graduates in long-term positions with local organizations.

Students Say
Popular manners of relaxation and recreation include intramural sports, campus organizations, and “artistic expression, be it poetry, visual art, performance art, music.” 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.” Parties here “are places where you generally know everyone there, you have a good time and no one steals your coat or purse.” Undergrads here are also very creative. “When we want to do something fun we typically organize it ourselves.” A much-anticipated event is “Flunk Day, 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.” Union Board “brings films, entertainers, concerts, and other groups to campus, including Second City,” and the Gizmo is “one of the best places to socialize and eat some late night food.” Wandering offcampus a bit is also fun. Undergrads say “Galesburg is a charming town...you just have to look a little bit,” for fun affairs such as The Knox Jazz Night, hosted at Fat Fish Pub in the downtown area. Students enjoy the town’s intimate, relaxing atmosphere: “Good coffee shops, a really nice park with a lake, and many beautiful old historic buildings,” and “an annual Chocolate Festival.” A twenty-four-hour diner is nearby, and “students can also drive to Peoria or take the train to Chicago.”

Documentation Required for LD
If academic accommodations are requested, disability documentation should be on official letterhead, signed (with credentials) and dated by an evaluator, generally a licensed psychologist or other professionals with experience and expertise in the disability. Documentation should indicate a diagnosis of a specific learning disorder. A diagnosis of a ?learning difference,? a ?learning weakness,? or other non-specific language does not meet the criteria of a disability. Learning disorders are listed in the DSM-V? as a disorder of written expression; mathematics disorder; learning disorder not otherwise specified; and reading disorder. Documentation should include relevant developmental, historical, and familial data of a specific learning disorder. Assessment instruments utilized to document this disability should address Aptitude (IQ), Achievement (reading, math and written language) and Processing (such as visual and auditory). Acceptable cognitive achievement and ability assessments which utilize adult normed tests are tests such as Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-III) or Woodcock-Johnson (WJ-III). Screening tests, such as the Wide-Range Achievement Test (WRAT), the Nelson Denny Reading Test, or the Peabody Individual Achievement Test are not acceptable in and of themselves as tests of achievement. Relevant testing documentation should ideally have been conducted be within the last three (3) years and include a summary of assessment procedures and evaluation instruments used to make the diagnosis, including evaluation results and standardized scores, if applicable. The report must specify the test scores or rationale used to determine the DSM-5 ? or ICD-10 diagnosis. Testing documentation should ideally include recommendations for academic accommodations and reflect a connection between the requested accommodation and the functional limitation on the student in the academic environment.Documentation Required for ADHD

Testing documentation submitted should ideally have been conducted within the last three (3) years and include a summary of assessment procedures and evaluation instruments used to make the diagnosis, including evaluation results and standardized scores, if applicable. The report should specify the test scores or rationale used to determine the DSM-5 ? or ICD-10 diagnosis. Testing documentation should ideally include recommendations for academic accommodations and reflect a connection between the requested accommodation and the functional limitation on the student in the academic environment.Special Need Services Offered
