2009-2010 Undergraduate Bulletin (pdf) - LaGrange College

The College draws more than half of its student body from Georgia.
However, students from at least one-third of the other states in the U.S.
and from abroad nourish a rich cosmopolitan and international
community which includes various religious and ethnic backgrounds.
Students also are provided diversity opportunities through travel
courses, field study programs, service-learning, and internships.
Students in the college's education and nursing departments receive
supervised learning experiences in many area schools and medical
facilities, respectively. Campus art exhibitions, lectures, concerts, and
varsity and intramural sports add to the cultural enrichment and
recreational opportunities offered by the College.
The College is located in the town of LaGrange, Georgia, which has
a population of 26,000. Nearby are Callaway Gardens, the Warm
Springs Foundation and Franklin D. Roosevelt's Little White House.
The West Point Dam on the Chattahoochee River provides one of the
largest lakes in the region, with waterfronts and a marina within the city
limits of LaGrange.
