Colgate is a nationally recognized liberal arts college set on a beautiful campus in central New York.
Some 2,800 undergraduates are enrolled in 51 programs, taking advantage of the university's award-winning curriculum, off-campus study program, and numerous research opportunities.
Students enjoy small class sizes taught by expert faculty members -- not teaching assistants.
The Center for Career Services helps students explore career options and thousands of connected and passionate alumni serve as important resources as seniors finalize post-Colgate plans.
Colgate hums with activity. It is a place where the arts thrive. Student-athletes compete at the very highest level of NCAA Division I sports. There are dozens of club and intramural sports programs, and the college’s outdoor education program is second to none.
Above all, Colgate is about academic excellence. It is a tradition forged in 1819 and honed through the years by each class of select students.
