Earlham began as a Quaker school in 1847, open only to Friends. It started admitting non-Quaker students about 20 years later and hiring non-Quaker faculty about 20 years after that. Today a little over 12% of students are Quaker. Its student body of 1,000 undergrads is ethnically and nationally diverse—nearly 22% come from abroad and over 24% are minority. Earlham prides itself on exposing students to international culture. In addition to welcoming students from more than 80 countries, the school offers courses in 11 languages, including Arabic, Chinese, and Swahili.
