Lewis & Clark College
Lewis & Clark College, founded in 1867, has built a strong reputation for its environmental and international studies programs, and the college's wooded, hillside Portland campus, overlooking the city with views of Mount Hood on clear days, is frequently cited among the more scenic small liberal arts college settings in the Pacific Northwest. The college's law school, located on a separate nearby campus, has built a particularly strong national reputation specifically in environmental and natural resources law, drawing on Oregon's broader reputation for environmental policy leadership and giving Lewis & Clark a specialized legal education niche distinct from most peer law schools. Lewis & Clark's overseas study program, requiring or strongly encouraging significant international study abroad experience for undergraduates, reflects the college's institutional emphasis on global engagement, and a substantial majority of students complete at least one extended international study term before graduating. The college's combination of environmental studies strength, a specialized environmental law school, and its scenic Pacific Northwest campus has made Lewis & Clark a distinctive choice among students specifically drawn to environmentally focused liberal arts education in a setting that reflects those same institutional priorities.
VS
Reed College
Reed College, founded in 1908, has built a reputation as one of the most academically rigorous and intellectually intense liberal arts colleges in the country, with a curriculum that requires every student to complete a substantial senior thesis and defend it orally before a faculty committee, a graduation requirement Reed treats as central to its educational philosophy. The college's distinctive academic culture deliberately downplays traditional grades — while Reed does record grades internally, students don't typically see their own grades unless they specifically request them, reflecting the college's institutional emphasis on learning for its own sake rather than competitive grade-chasing. Reed produces a disproportionately high number of graduates who go on to complete PhDs relative to the college's small size, a statistic Reed actively tracks and promotes, and the college's rigorous, discussion-based Humanities 110 program, required of all first-year students, has remained largely unchanged in its core structure for decades. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs famously attended Reed for a single semester before dropping out, though he continued auditing courses on campus, including a calligraphy class he later credited as directly influencing Apple's early typography design — a frequently told story that's become closely associated with the college's broader identity.
