From the Institution

Colgate is a distinctive, leading American university known for its intellectual rigor, world-class professors, campus of stunning beauty, and famously loyal alumni. At Colgate's core is one of the most ambitious and relevant learning experiences in the country. Regardless of major, all students are taught to think critically, communicate powerfully, analyze other perspectives, and solve complex problems. This foundational curriculum equips students to develop as global citizens - leaders who can engage thoughtfully and flourish in the careers that they want. Colgate's scale is unlike any in America. We are small enough for students to build relationships with their professors, yet large enough to support top scholars in every field. We offer a surprisingly vast array of classes and majors. Undergraduates in every major undertake serious research. Off-campus and international study options abound. All our classes are taught by leading scholars in their fields. At Colgate, teaching is a clear priority. This is a place of intellectual rigor and engagement. The beauty of our campus invites you in. Set on a hillside - with stately buildings, surrounded by a canopy of colorful trees - we are steeped in 200 years of history. The energy of this place is everywhere. We compete in Division I athletics, the highest level of collegiate sports. We have designed our residential living to ensure that students from all over the world feel connected and share experiences on a campus that quickly feels like home. In the center of New York, in one of the friendliest towns in America, we offer the best of college life. It is our mission to develop enlightened thinkers who are capable of challenging themselves and others with vigor and reason. We choose sophisticated students who will grow in both confidence and humility, and who will seek a global perspective in shaping their own. Our students carry our values. One day they will carry the value of a Colgate degree, which opens doors with its reputation for academic excellence. This is Colgate, a distinctive, vibrant, and welcoming place to learn, live, and develop into who you are.
