America needs a new kind of college, a college with soul, a college where students and teachers gather as a community of learners. America is hungry for a college founded on passion and commitment, a college that respects the idealism, integrity and optimism of its students. And America wants a college that is affordable, that uses technology sensibly, that prepares people for work, and that fosters creativity and critical thinking.

New College embodies this vision. Our academic community features one-to-one mentoring, small seminars, and learning experiences in the real world. Most colleges carry on traditions; New College is creating new ones. Come help us build the college of the future.

New College awards the B. A. degree in Liberal Studies. Each student designs an individualized concentration while attending seminars in the traditional liberal arts. Concentrations may include areas such as English, History, Environmental Studies, Gender Studies, Philosophy, Multimedia Studies, Religion, Cultural Studies, Psychology, Art History, American Studies, Sociology, Film and Culture, Playwriting and the Theatre, Political Science, Literature and Writing, Anthropology, The Body and Culture.
