Liberal Arts & Academic Excellence

Colgate's unique model of liberal arts education brings together small school intimacy and access with big school spirit and opportunity.


We will build on our traditions of the core curriculum and strong departments as we shape the liberal arts experience to educate our students - tomorrow's leaders and contributors to the arts, professions and education.

A state-of-the art university library now serves as a global information and technology center where students and faculty create and manage knowledge. The Ho Science Center brings together interdisciplinary teams of researchers and students to work together on emerging issues in the 21st century frontiers of scientific discovery. Programs are being put into place to attract and support faculty who excel both at creating new knowledge and teaching undergraduates.
