Founded as a music conservatory in 1892, Ithaca College attracts driven students looking to transform their lives — and the future. Students, faculty, and staff at IC collaborate to lead meaningful change in the community and the world. In a private, residential, liberal arts environment where risk-taking is applauded, students chart their course through a unique combination of academic theory, dedicated practice, and demanding performance. With over 90 majors and 70 minors offered by IC’s five schools, students benefit from small class sizes, personal mentorship, collaborative partnerships, and professional guidance. Ithaca College is ranked as one of the nation’s top producers of Fulbright scholars and one of the top 10 colleges in the North. Whether they are winning Pulitzers, launching nonprofits, anchoring broadcast news, leading multibillion-dollar companies, or revolutionizing patient care (among many other pursuits and accomplishments), students who graduate from Ithaca College “learn different and leave different.” Seeking transformation? At IC, you’ll not only join a community of global trailblazers who strive to make an impact. You’ll find, face, and be yourself surrounded by natural beauty in an eclectic college town.
