Colby College
A rigorous academic program is at the core of a Colby education. Through transformative relationships with Colby’s outstanding faculty and in activities outside the classroom, students learn to embrace opportunities, to see connections in disparate lines of thought, and to regard education as a civic resource as well as a personal achievement. Colby is international, and students develop a mature curiosity and an appetite for engaged global citizenship.
A pioneering program in liberal arts education designed to explore an era or topic from the converging perspectives of several disciplines, Integrated Studies was introduced at Colby in 1997. The Integrated Studies semester brings together students with similar interests and provides them an opportunity to learn about a subject in depth and to make broad connections among disciplines. Structured around clusters of courses that may explore and era or some aspect of world civilization, the program is primarily for first-year students. Examples include The Green Cluster, combining environmental ethics, activism, and biological science, and The Great Depression, with interrelated courses in history, photography, and film.
