Cottey College. Private, two-year residential liberal arts college for women. Capacity for 350 students. Thirty-five full-time faculty with a student-faculty ratio of 9:1. A high quality curriculum that challenges students to explore a range of academic disciplines in the arts and sciences. Leadership development programs combine theory and practice. After two years of focused study and work with dedicated faculty, over 95 percent of Cottey graduates transfer to institutions across the country. Some prefer to transfer to other colleges for women or other small liberal arts colleges, while others transfer to select public colleges, regional universtities, or major research universities. Cottey alumna report one thing in common--the ability to shape their destiny based on the intellectual motivation and excellent academic preparation that results from the Cottey experience. Strong emphasis on science with outstanding science facilities and equipment. Each spring the entire second-eyar class travels to a major European cultural cetner (London, Paris, Madrid, Rome, Florence); the trip is paid for by the College with very little additional cost to the student. Undergraduate research, internships, service learning, learning communities, and volunteer work encouraged. A close knit community with a focus on preparing women to be learners, leaders, and citizens in our global society.
