ROOTED IN REASON
RISING WITH PURPOSE

A Liberal Arts Education. For the Twenty-First Century.

New College gives students a broad education that ranges from the wisdom of the ancients to the cutting-edge technology of tomorrow. At New College you’ll be challenged and inspired by a world-class faculty dedicated to undergraduate education. Whatever your major (and there are more than fifty to choose from) you will graduate from New College as a bold risk-taker and self-directed learner, able to demonstrate the skills you have mastered through project-based learning.

The New College general education program is rooted in the Great Books. You will confront the great questions through works that have stood the test of time. New college students develop skills in independent learning. Through Independent Study Projects and Tutorials you will work with professors to determine what you want to learn and how you want to learn it. New College students take learning out of the classroom. You will pursue learning in the lab, in the field, through study abroad, and in any of the vast array of personalized internships and other forms of experiential learning.
