The questions that drive us.

At Conn, we don’t just ask “What’s your major?” We ask you to make connections between your education and your interests—to combine your learning and your likes into a personalized experience that capitalizes on what excites and intrigues you. When you love a subject, you want to dig deeper into it and ask more questions. The answers to those questions will be the mark you make on this world.

It’s an approach we call Connections, and it puts the liberal arts in action. See for yourself.

THE VIEW FROM HERE

Campus Overhead
The only member of the NESCAC with a waterfront location, Connecticut College is home to a 750-acre arboretum, a stunning central quad and a commanding view of Long Island Sound. Here, you’ll find the ideal residential college experience—welcoming, intimate, supportive.
Athey Center Exterior
The Athey Center for Performance and Research is a hub of innovation, encouraging performance and dialogue on critical issues. At Conn, you’ll find the space, resources and fellow makers you need to nurture your creative streak.
Students in front of library
Among the best beloved aspects of Conn culture is our honor code, which governs both academic and community conduct. The resulting trust and mutual respect are the glue that binds a community.
Students studying inside library
What will you study? We offer 46 majors and 49 minors—and you can even design your own. Through our signature academic program, Connections, you’ll integrate your interests and pose questions while assembling a personalized portfolio of knowledge and related experience that will carry you into a meaningful career and life.

We’re serious about sustainability—we even earned a rare Gold Rating from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education. We focus on lasting solutions at the nexus of social equity, environmental stewardship and economic well-being. And we’re committed to carbon neutrality by 2030.
Boat on water
Our newly revitalized waterfront features a first-rate facility for sailing and rowing; an outdoor classroom and living laboratory for marine science, environmental research and conservation; an expedition training area for outdoor adventures and recreation; and a place for rest and reflection. And did we mention we’re the only NESCAC member on the water?
Over head shot of campus at night
Location, location, location! You’ll find us atop a hill in historic, quirky, seaside New London. We’re also close to Hartford, Providence, Boston and New York City—where many students do internships and build professional networks.
