Colgate University is a nationally recognized liberal arts college set on a beautiful campus in central New York. Students enjoy small class sizes taught by expert faculty members - not teaching assistants. Colgate University is about academic excellence. It is a tradition forged in 1819 and honed through the years by each class of select students.

There are more than 2,750 undergraduates enrolled in over 50 programs, taking advantage of this New York college's award-winning curriculum, off-campus study program, and numerous research opportunities. The university's strategic plan offers a blueprint for turning today's students into tomorrow's leaders, joining the scores of alumni already playing major roles in a variety of fields. The Center for Career Services is a key player as students make this transition.

Colgate is dedicated to helping students develop the habits of mind, skills, and character that serve as preparation for any career and for lives as engaged citizens and leaders who build communities locally and internationally. 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.
