Our incredible alumni branch out into the world and make it a better place. Our world-class faculty challenges the students to think. For 200 years we have helped students become thoughtful, critical thinkers and perceptive leaders. We foster diversity of thought and action founded in a Liberal Arts Core Curriculum that has been recognized as one of the most elegant in the country. At the same time, our community contributes to a vibrant campus culture that complements and expands on the knowledge created in our classrooms and labs. There isn't a week where a Colgate alum isn't back on campus.
