Eisenhower College

Eisenhower College was a small college named after US President Dwight Eisenhower, located in Seneca Falls, New York. It was founded as a liberal arts college, with its charter class beginning in 1968.

Eisenhower curricula were centered on a core set of courses collectively known as “World Studies.”  These mandatory courses examined the history of civilization from the ascent of Man through modern times in music, art, history, science, philosophy and literature. Foreign language and physical education courses were also mandatory. Also unique about the campus were the well-attended classes in modern music and human sexuality held weekly in the “Red Barn” building.

Another campus tradition was the Communication Arts Festival held each April. Lacking a fall homecoming tradition, the Comm-Arts weekend gave "Ike" students the chance to become re-acquainted with old friends and grads as everyone celebrated the rainy spring weather, endemic to the Seneca Falls community.

This liberal arts college graduated its final class in 1983 after it had been acquired by the Rochester Institute of Technology in 1979.

The property was later sold to the New York Chiropractic College which continues to operate the campus.

An archive of Eisenhower College material, donated by former professors and alumni, is stored on the campus as of 2006.
