At the same time, we recognize

that no two individuals have the

same educational needs and

goals, just as no two individuals

have identical strengths, capacities,

motivation, and preparation.

Accordingly, the College provides each

student with both clear guidance and

great freedom of choice in designing

a program of study in consultation

with a faculty advisor, while requiring

the student to pursue a wide range of

subjects and develop considerable

expertise in one academic area.

A graduate who represents the

educational ideals of Lake Forest

College will have studied a broad range

of ideas; developed real competence

in writing, speaking, and quantitative

skills; learned how to gather, access,

and present information; and gained

significant experience in the humanities,

the natural sciences and mathematics,

and the social sciences while completing

requirements for a major in an academic

department or interdisciplinary program.

The College’s General Education

Curriculum, its advising system, and the

requirements of each major are designed

to support these educational ideals, as

are the many other academic programs

in the undergraduate curriculum.

For more information about

academics at Lake Forest College:

www.lakeforest.edu/academics

Office of the Dean of the Faculty

North Hall, Second Floor

(847) 735-5020

Academic Advising

The advising system holds a central

place in Lake Forest’s academic program.

Faculty advisors help students determine

their academic needs and objectives and

choose an appropriate course of study.

Advisors work to ensure that students

receive a broad-based education, select a

major, and meet graduation requirements.

All new students are assigned a faculty

advisor at the outset who helps to make

the transition to Lake Forest College

successful. As a first-year student,

your advisor is your First-Year Studies

professor. First-year advisors assist you

with overall program planning, course

selection, registration, career choices, and

other academic or personal challenges

that may arise. First-year advisors

normally serve in an advisory capacity

for your entire first and second year,

or until you choose a major. Advisors

can provide indispensable support and

advice regarding educational options,

degree or graduation requirements,

and career opportunities.

General Education Curriculum

All students must successfully complete

the General Education Curriculum (GEC)

as a requirement for graduation.

LAKE FOREST GUIDE

At Lake Forest College, we believe that all individuals benefit

from breadth of education in the liberal arts combined with depth

of study in traditional disciplines or interdisciplinary fields.

Mission Statement

Lake Forest College affirms that

education ennobles the individual.

Our curriculum engages students in

the breadth of the liberal arts and the

depth of traditional disciplines. We

encourage students to read critically,

reason analytically, communicate

persuasively, and, above all, to

think for themselves. We foster

creative talent and independent

research. We embrace cultural

diversity. We honor achievement.

Our faculty of distinguished scholars

takes pride in its commitment to

teaching. We know our students by

name and prepare them to become

responsible citizens of the global

community. We enable students,

faculty, trustees, and administrators

to solve problems in a civil manner,

collectively. We maintain a secure

residential campus of great beauty.

We enrich our curriculum with the

vibrant resources of Chicago.

Lake Forest College celebrates the

personal growth that accompanies

the quest for excellence.

LAKE FOREST GUIDE

Academics atLake Forest College

13

LAKE FOREST GUIDE

also count toward the GEC breadth

academic divisions requirements.

Senior Studies

A senior studies course, also known as

a senior “capstone,” is a culminating

experience in the student’s major.

The course emphasizes writing and

speaking and encourages integration

of the methods and content explored

in the major. Students must fulfill this

requirement, for which courses are

specially designated within their major

department. Students must pass the

senior studies requirement to graduate.

Students who have more than one

major must satisfy the senior studies

requirement in each of their majors.

Students may complete two separate

senior studies courses or choose from

among several options. Students should

consult their faculty advisor or the

course catalog for more information.

Choosing or Switching a Major

It may take some time to make a final

decision about your major(s) at Lake

Forest College. Many college students

change their major(s) two or three times

before making their final choice. Faculty

advisors and department chairs are

supportive of this process, understanding

that as students grow as individuals

and are exposed to new academic

fields, deeper levels of interest may

emerge in new areas. Students may

declare up to two majors and one minor

or up to one major and two minors.

Independent Scholar Program

Some of our strongest students find

that no one traditional major meets their

academic interests. The Independent

Scholar Program enables qualified

and motivated students to design and

pursue an individual program in their

junior and senior years, focusing on a

particular topic or theme rather than

on a single academic discipline.

The GEC is intended to ensure that

students will receive breadth, as well as

depth, in their education while continuing

to allow them considerable latitude in

designing their individual programs of

study. Included also are requirements

for writing and for cultural diversity.

The GEC consists of three

main requirements:

1. First-Year Studies

2. GEC Breadth Requirements

3. Senior Studies

First-Year Studies

The First-Year Studies Program (FIYS) at

Lake Forest College is a new student’s

first connection with the academic

community on campus. It introduces first-

year students to new friends, challenging

and engaging professors, and learning

opportunities and resources available in

nearby Chicago.

While diverse in subject matter, First-Year

Studies courses share several aims:

They are small in size, in order

to encourage discussion

and interaction.

They are intense and challenging,

stressing critical thinking and writing

along with the development of good

work habits and academic skills.

The instructor serves as the

student’s academic advisor.

GEC Breadth Requirements

At a minimum, students must

complete two credits from each

of the three liberal arts areas:

Humanities: Art, Communication,

English, Modern Languages

and Literatures, History, Music,

Philosophy, Religion, Theater

Social Sciences: Economics and

Business, Education, Politics, Psychology,

Sociology and Anthropology

Natural and Mathematical Sciences

Biology, Chemistry, Environmental

Studies (only 108, 116, 202, 282 meet

the requirement), Mathematics and

Computer Science (Math 105 does not

satisfy the requirement), Physics

Each of these six credits must come

from a different department and be

completed by the end of the junior year.

GEC Breadth: Cultural Diversity

Of the four credits in humanities and

social sciences, two must be cultural

diversity courses and each must come

from a different department. Only one

course may be counted in Modern

Languages and Literatures; First-

Year Studies courses do not fulfill this

requirement. Courses that fulfill the

cultural diversity requirement are marked

on each academic year’s course schedule.

Successful completion of approved

study-abroad programs will meet

the GEC breadth cultural diversity

requirements. Approved study-abroad

courses that count in Lake Forest College

academic divisions (as transfer credit

or as Lake Forest College credit) will

LAKE FOREST GUIDE LAKE FOREST GUIDE

Working with a faculty advisor, students

accepted into the Independent Scholar

Program can develop their own major,

culminating in a thesis or creative project.

Special Course Work

Independent study, under the guidance

and supervision of faculty members, offers

challenging opportunities for investigating

areas beyond the limits of regular courses.

You may engage in independent study for

credit, given the availability and approval

of a faculty member knowledgeable

in the chosen subject matter.

The four basic types of independent

study at Lake Forest College are: tutorial,

research project, senior thesis, and

creative project. Special course work can

also include internships, off-campus study,

audits, and other types of academic work.

Experiential Learning

As part of its mission to prepare students

“to become responsible citizens of the

global community,” Lake Forest College

aims to provide its students with a

sound education in the basic liberal arts

emphasizing the crucial skills of critical

thinking, reading, writing, and speaking,

and with the opportunities to apply these

skills in real-life situations. The College

encourages and enables students

to participate in significant learning

experiences that connect academic work

with the world beyond the campus. These

experiences can take several forms,

including, but not limited to, study in an

off-campus program (either domestic

or international), work in an internship,

and a service-learning exercise as part

of the assigned work of a course.

But what happens when they need

academic help? Students who seek out the

many academic resources at the College

are the smartest students here. Faculty

advisors can provide great guidance. Peer

tutors are especially helpful when you

want to take your writing, math skills, or

subject knowledge deeper. Library staff

members know where to direct you for

source material for a research paper.

Academic Advisors

A comprehensive advising and guidance

program at the College recognizes the

need for supportive counseling in all

matters related to a college education.

New students are assigned a faculty

advisor at the outset who assists with

overall program planning, course

selection, registration, career choices,

general academic difficulties, or even

personal problems. First-year students

are taught by their advisor in a First-Year

Studies Seminar during the fall term.

Succeeding in college takes more than good exam scores.

Our most successful students are those who are most

involved in their academics, and they learn the most —

about themselves and the subjects they study.

These first-year advisors serve in an

advisory capacity for the entire first year.

During the sophomore year, students

may retain their first-year advisor or

choose another faculty advisor who is

more closely aligned with the student’s

core academic and co-curricular

interests. Faculty advisors assist students

in drawing up a program of courses in their

major field and other academic areas, and

provide necessary guidance throughout

students’ undergraduate careers.

Writing Center

The Writing Center is actively used by

first-year students. Last year, the Writing

Center logged over 2,500 appointments

and served half of the student body

and a majority of the first-year class.

First-Year Studies course instructors

require their students to visit the Writing

Center at least once to become aware

of what collaborating with a peer tutor

can do for one’s writing. After you

Academic Resources

and Support



see how helpful a writing tutor can be,

you will likely wish to make additional

appointments on your own using the on-

line scheduling system available at the

top of all of your Moodle course pages.

Tutors are available for single

appointments or for weekly long-term

tutoring, called standing appointments,

if you need to develop your writing skill

set to meet college writing challenges.

Your academic advisor can help you

identify the best ways to use the

Writing Center for your writing needs.

Services for Students with Disabilities

If you have an IEP or 504 plan and/or if

you have been diagnosed with a disability

or medical condition that affects you

as a student, it’s not too early to start

thinking about what accommodations

you may need or to start asking how the

process works at Lake Forest College.

The earlier you start this process,

the better informed you will be.

If you received services in elementary

or high school, you know that your

school did a lot of work to help you be

successful. To be successful in college,

however, you will need to build your self-

advocacy skills by requesting services

for yourself. By providing documentation

and requesting accommodations, you’ll

be part of an interactive process that

involves you talking with the Learning

and Teaching Center and other people on

campus, like your professors, health and

wellness staff, or maybe residence life

staff, depending on what your particular

needs are. We can’t guarantee every

student will be successful, but we can

ensure every student who makes a

request and documents the need has

equal access to programs and services.

Residence Life

Students who live on campus develop

lasting friendships, engage in their

residential communities, and learn life-

long skills. Residence life staff work

hard to help get students engaged

and involved, building strong, vibrant

communities that are supportive and

focused on student success. Activities in

the halls are designed to provide social

and educational opportunities for students

to interact, have fun, and learn new things.

Residence life staff includes:

Resident Assistants (RA): Student

staff members who live on the

floors with our residential students,

helping them get connected

to campus resources and each

other, implementing social

and educational activities, and

creating a safe and educationally

focused environment.

Residence Directors (RD):

Professional staff members who

live on campus and supervise

the resident assistants. RDs

hold weekly office hours and

are available to address student

concerns and answer questions.

Department Assistant: The

department assistant provides

front-office coverage and general

support for the department, serving

as the first point of contact for

people who call or stop by the

office. The department assistant

can schedule appointments if

you want to meet with your RD,

and can also submit work orders

for anything in your room that

might need to be repaired.

Associate Directors: The two

associate directors provide day-to-

day management for residence life.

They manage staff selection, staff

training, housing assignments, and

other department-level processes.

Director: The director of

residence life sets the vision for

the department and oversees

college-level processes and

procedures such as building

construction, managing enrollment

growth, and managing response

for students of concern.

As you settle into your room, we

encourage you to get to know your

roommate(s) and complete your

roommate agreement. This agreement

will help you set some expectations that

will make sharing a small space much

easier throughout the year. Your RA can

help you through this process; and, if

you hit bumps along the way, your RA

will be a great resource in helping to

mediate any conflicts that might arise.

Please don’t hesitate to stop by the

Office of Residence Life in Rosemary

House with any questions or concerns

you might have. We’re here to help.

Public Safety

Lake Forest College’s Department of

Public Safety was created to support

the College’s educational goals by

maintaining a secure environment in which

to explore diverse social, cultural and

academic ideas and to pursue knowledge.

By patrolling the campus 24 hours a

day, seven days a week, every day of

the year, public safety officers provide

a highly visible, reassuring, and readily

accessible presence on campus. Our

well-trained force of personnel is capable

of responding to all emergency situations,

and to promote positive community

relations. Developing and maintaining

a safe and secure environment is

a joint effort that we trust you will

join us in by learning and exercising

effective crime prevention techniques,

remaining vigilant in your personal

safety, and immediately reporting crimes

or suspicious activity if it occurs.

When it comes to protecting your

personal property, effective crime

prevention begins with recognizing that

it is better to prevent crime rather than

react to it. Since theft is often a crime of

opportunity, denying someone access is

the first and best defense in eliminating

or minimizing these occurrences.

You can do so easily by keeping your

doors locked, especially when you

are not in your room and not leaving

anything valuable to you unattended or

unsecured anywhere, for any reason.

Lake Forest is one of the safest

communities in Illinois. However, no place

is completely crime-proof. Therefore,

take a common sense approach to your

personal safety when walking on or off

campus, by staying alert and tuned-in

to your surroundings, avoiding dark

or deserted areas, and being aware

of those around you. If you think you

are being followed, cross the street,

change direction, or go to a public place

where others are present. Remember

that when you are on campus, you

can call Public Safety for an escort to

another on campus destination if you

feel uneasy about traveling alone.

Put (847) 735-5555 in your cell phone

to reach Public Safety around-the-

clock. If you happen to see anything

that is suspicious to you, report it!

Even though we have a cooperative

relationship with local law enforcement,

and Lake Forest College has effectively

contributed toward a community-wide

effort to fight criminal activity, you

also play an important role. The end

result is a safe and secure environment

in which to live, work and study.
