Prepare yourself for everything.

Prepare yourself for everything. From its founding in 1831 as an all-women's academy to its current standing as a premier liberal arts college, LaGrange continues a proud and honored academic tradition.

But what makes LaGrange truly different?  What makes this four-year liberal arts and sciences institution such a standout?

It all comes down to one word.  Value.

LaGrange is one of the most affordable private colleges in the Southeast, It's true.  But genuine value – the kind of value that prompts U.S. News & World Report, year after year, to rank LaGrange College as one of the South's top 10 comprehensive colleges and among that category's "best values" –  is not simply a result of fine classroom instruction.  Or prime performance and athletic facilities. Or even forward-thinking administrative leadership.

No. We say that our real job here is "Transforming Lives." And we do that by equipping each student with a strong liberal arts foundation and then building-on valuable skill sets.  Top employers and graduate schools choose LaGrange graduates because they know how to problem-solve and they understand teamwork.
