Founded in 1837, Colby-Sawyer is a comprehensive baccalaureate college that integrates the liberal arts and sciences with professional preparation. Small class size and an integrated internship program are the hallmarks of Colby-Sawyer’s challenging yet supportive academic environment.
New Horizons with a Distinctive View:
More Phoenix Pact Scholars (18) have graduated from Colby-Sawyer than any other small college. Hundreds of miles from Chicago, surrounded by nature, Colby-Sawyer is known for its close-knit community focused on student success. 100 percent of their students participate in one or more internships in their fields of study. First-year students are provided uncommon access to opportunities, whether they want to join a leadership program, perform in a theatrical production or plan campus events. All students conclude their senior year with a Capstone project, in which they develop and demonstrate a deeper body of knowledge in their academic major. All this, with 360-degree views of mountains, forests, and lakes.
“I chose Colby-Sawyer for its rich and spirited community. Everywhere on campus is an opportunity to explore, connect, and make a difference.”
Roosevelt Williams; NLCP 2019, Colby-Sawyer 2023
