Connecticut College

(New London, CT)

Chartered in 1911, Connecticut College was founded in the spirit of political and social equality, self-determination, and shared governance. The College actively seeks out students who are not only smart and intellectually curious, but who also bring a wide range of life experiences and perspectives that enable this spirit to endure within the College community. The College's near century-old Honor Code defines campus life and is observed by all students, faculty, and staff. Intellectually and academically, the Honor Code inspires students to challenge themselves and their peers to see the world from diverse perspectives, to remain receptive to new ideas and experiences, and, by instilling a sense of mutual respect, to consider how their actions and education may ultimately better the common good. The College offers over 50 majors and minors and participates in the NCAA Division III New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC.) All labs and classes are taught by professors. The student to faculty ratio is 9 to 1.The College is nationally known for career and internship placement and environmental stewardship and has been called a "college with a conscience," as one of the top schools sending students to Teach for America or the Peace Corps. Enrollment at the College for 2010-2011 is 1,950. In the past four years, eighteen Connecticut College students have been awarded Fulbright Scholarships. Admission to the College is highly selective. Beginning in 2009, the College adopted a test-optional policy in admission.
