Founded in 1813, Colby College is a prestigious liberal arts college consistently ranked among the top colleges and universities in the nation. Serving only undergraduates, Colby offers academic programs rooted in the deep exploration of ideas and enriched by partnerships with world-class faculty scholars. Colby reimagines the liberal arts experience — providing access to a global experience, research, and internships for all students regardless of their background. Colby is in the public phase of its most ambitious campaign, Dare Northward. With this $750 million goal, of which more than $650 million has been raised, the campaign will further position Colby as a national leader in liberal arts education.
