Keuka College was founded in 1890 by George Harvey Ball (1819-1907), who envisioned a college that would provide a high-level education to all deserving students, regardless of economic background. Keuka is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. The school offers both bachelor's and master's degrees on its home campus. Keuka College aims to provide an affordable, private liberal arts, sciences, and career education. As a result, over 93% of the full-time undergraduates at Keuka receive some form of need-based financial support, with the College awarding over 11 million dollars in aid each year.
