Founded in 1911, Connecticut College in New London sits on a 750-acre arboretum campus overlooking Long Island Sound. The college was established as a women's institution when Wesleyan University closed its doors to women, and became coeducational in 1969. Conn's mission centers on educating students to put the liberal arts into action through its distinctive Connections curriculum, which requires every student to integrate coursework across disciplines, engage in funded internships, and complete a senior integrative project. The college's emphasis on global citizenship, equity, and hands-on learning reflects its progressive founding spirit.

How life on campus actually feels — clubs, sports, traditions, housing realities, and how the school integrates with its city.
Conn offers over 45 majors and minors, with particular strength in the arts, environmental studies, and international relations. The Connections curriculum is the college's signature: it integrates coursework with funded internships, global experiences, and a senior integrative project, ensuring every graduate has a portfolio of applied work. The Ammerman Center for Arts and Technology is nationally recognized for its interdisciplinary approach to digital arts and creative technology. The Goodwin-Niering Center for the Environment leverages the campus arboretum as a research site. Strong programs in dance, theater, and music benefit from the college's Lyman Allyn Art Museum and Palmer Auditorium. Approximately 50% of students study abroad, and the college's Centers for International Studies and the Liberal Arts provide structured pathways for global engagement.
