For 160 years, Lake Erie College has been educating students for the world after college. We combine a liberal arts education with practical “real life” experiences. We offer opportunities for internships both in the U.S. and internationally and, through our curriculum, we address the needs of students who will work in a world that is increasingly interdependent. Lake Erie College emphasizes the individual, not the “masses.” We foster and encourage self-discovery, the development of strong personal attributes, creative problem-solving, and balancing personal and professional goals with the needs of others.
In keeping with our commitment to personal and professional development, the Veteran Education and Transition Support Program assists individuals that served or are serving in the armed forces of the United States in attaining their educational goals. The mission of the V.E.T.S. Program is to facilitate the successful enrollment, registration, advising, retention, and graduation of our student veterans by assisting them in transitioning from the military to the college and civilian world successfully. The V.E.T.S. Program provides academic support, benefits and education counseling, program information, and referrals to appropriate resources through a personalized approach that emphasizes individual attention and care.
