Luther College
Luther College, founded in 1861 by Norwegian Lutheran immigrants, has built one of the strongest undergraduate music programs among liberal arts colleges in the Midwest, and its Nordic Choir has toured internationally, maintaining the college's continued connection to its Norwegian Lutheran founding heritage. The college's small size, around 1,800 undergraduates, and its scenic bluff-top campus overlooking the Upper Iowa River in Decorah give Luther a distinctive natural setting that's become closely tied to the college's outdoor recreation and environmental studies programs. Luther's study-abroad participation rate is among the highest of any liberal arts college in the country, reflecting the college's continued institutional emphasis on global engagement, and its biology and pre-health advising programs have built solid reputations for placing graduates into competitive graduate and medical programs. The college's combination of a nationally respected music program, its Norwegian Lutheran heritage, and its scenic river-bluff campus setting has made Luther a distinctive choice among the Midwest's smaller liberal arts colleges, particularly for students interested in vocal or instrumental music alongside a broader liberal arts education.
VS
Cornell College
Cornell College, founded in 1853, is best known nationally for its distinctive "One Course At A Time" academic calendar, in which students take and complete a single course over an intensive three-and-a-half-week block before moving to the next, a structure unlike that of virtually any other American college. This block structure lets Cornell schedule immersive field trips, laboratory-intensive coursework, and off-campus study more easily than a traditional semester system would allow, and the college markets the format directly as producing more focused, immersive learning without the divided attention of juggling multiple simultaneous courses. The college's small size, around 1,000 undergraduates, and its historic hilltop campus in Mount Vernon, Iowa, entirely listed on the National Register of Historic Places, give Cornell College a distinctive small-town Midwestern liberal arts setting. Cornell College's block-plan calendar, shared by only a small handful of other American colleges including Colorado College, has made it a distinctive choice among students specifically seeking that particular immersive, single-course-at-a-time academic structure within a small Midwestern liberal arts college.
