Coe College is a selective, private, nationally recognized four-year coeducational liberal arts institution providing superior educational experiences for students since 1851. Coe is a residential campus located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa – Iowa’s second largest city – and only hours from several major cities like Chicago, Minneapolis, Omaha, and St. Louis. The approximately 1,300 students enrolled at Coe make up a diverse population, representing more than 33 states and over 15 foreign countries.

Coe prides itself on its ability to give students a personalized education. The average class size is 16, with a student/faculty ratio of 11:1. The personalized attention and diverse student body contribute to a learning experience that is of superior quality – one that prepares them, and prepares them well, for life after college.

Coe College claims the shortest name of any American institution of higher education, but the school has actually carried five titles through its history.

When the Rev. Williston Jones founded the college in 1851, he called it The School for the Prophets. Cedar Rapids’ first resident minister opened the parlor of his home to a group of young men with the goal of educating them for the ministry to serve churches in the Midwest.
