Lake Erie is best known for its equine studies program, which attracts students from across the country, and around the world, and is the most popular major at the college. The Humphrey Equestrian Center is located 5 miles (8.0 km) to the south of the main campus, in Concord Township.

“They who know of no purer sources of truth, who have traced up its stream no higher, stand, and wisely stand, by the Bible and the Constitution, and drink at it there with reverence and humility; but they who behold where it comes trickling into this lake or that pool, gird up their loins once more, and continue their pilgrimage toward its fountain-head.”
