We are Knox.
Founded by abolitionists in 1837, Knox is a nationally ranked, private, residential liberal arts college located in Galesburg, Illinois.

Knox is a diverse place, where people from communities around the world can add their unique perspectives to the culture of the College.

Knox is an independent place, where students are encouraged to take on their own research projects, participate in off-campus programs, even design their own majors.

Knox is also an engaged place, where students actively participate in the governance of the College, and the issues of the day are openly—though respectfully—debated in and out of the classroom.

Most of all, Knox is a committed place, dedicated to providing an experience that transforms students into the best version of what they can become, and firm in its conviction that a liberal arts education best prepares students for successful careers and a lifetime of learning.
