One Small Liberal Arts College is Showing The World How Higher Education Should Evolve - Opinion Piece

Richard Barth writes: Here’s one story of a private liberal arts college that’s worth sharing. Lycoming College is a small, liberal arts college in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.  The institution’s origins date back to 1812, and it began awarding B.A. and B.S degrees in the middle of the twentieth century.  Lycoming has educated young people with limited financial resources for years.  Historically, about 30% of Lycoming’s students have been Pell Grant eligible.  Most of those students were from small towns in Pennsylvania and New York State.  It has a history as an engine of social mobility.
