Lyon College offers an array of academic support services designed to assist students with the issues that they traditionally encounter between matriculation and graduation. These support services include a first-year experience course, learning services (writing, math, and foreign language labs), house system (Spragins House and Young House), and academic advising by full-time faculty as mentors for first-year students and advisors in specific majors.

First-Year Experience

Academic Advising

Undecided about your major; uncertain about your career? You’re not alone! Significant percentages of entering Lyon students have not yet decided upon majors and career paths. Even larger percentages will change majors-one or two times. This is one of the great strengths of the liberal learning experience:  it introduces you to academic fields and the career opportunities to which they lead and clarifies and creates options-all the while providing you with the intellectual foundation for the degree program that you ultimately select.

 At Lyon, we take this liberal learning advantage a step farther, drawing together the strengths of our Orientation, Freshman Experience Course (Core 100), Career Development Program, and Alumni network to enhance your opportunities for a lifetime of professional success and personal growth.
