College of the Atlantic

Bar Harbor, Maine
The College of the Atlantic is a private, liberal arts college located in Bar Harbor, Maine. Founded in 1969, the school’s curriculum is based on the study of human ecology.

COA is ideal for the student who asks the difficult questions, likes to learn from experience, and is willing to engage in programs of first-hand research. One COA alumna noted that “COA was more like a graduate school for undergraduates.”

The College of the Atlantic instills in its students the ability to question, and the desire to challenge the status quo. These sensibilities are what sets COA students apart from the pack.

With approximately 300 students and passionate, engaging professors, the college is able to offer small, rigorous classes. COA functions as a tight-knit community that respects individualism and encourages its students to think outside the box.

Fiske Descriptions

In today’s conservative world, COA is as out-there as it gets. A haven for communal, earthy, vegetarian types who would rather save the world than make a buck. Cozy is an understatement; with barely 300 students, it is the second smallest institution in the Fiske Guide.
