History and overview
Chartered in 1911 as a women's college, Connecticut College began admitting men in 1969. The founding of the college was a response to Wesleyan University's decision to stop admitting women. Female Wesleyan alumnae, notably Elizabeth C. Wright, convinced others to found this new college, espousing the increasing desire amongst women for higher education. Several large gifts of land gave the college its hilltop location overlooking Long Island Sound. Financial assistance from the city of New London, its residents, and a number of wealthy benefactors gave the college its initial endowment. According to an Oct. 12, 1935 article in the Hartford Daily Times, marking the College's 20th anniversary:
"On September 27, 1915, on this beautiful site, the college opened its doors to students. The entering class was made up of 99 freshmen students, candidates for degrees, and 52 special students, a total registration of 151. A fine faculty of 23 members had been engaged and a library of 6,000 volumes had been gathered together. It was an auspicious start for this new undertaking."
Connecticut College has been continuously accredited since 1932 by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. In a typical year, the College enrolls about 1,900 men and women from 40-45 states, Washington D.C., and 40-45 countries. Approximately forty percent of students are men. The College is now particularly known for interdisciplinary studies, international programs and study abroad, funded internships, student-faculty research, service learning, and shared governance. Under the College's system of shared governance, faculty, staff, students, and administrators are represented on the major committees that make policy regarding the curriculum, the budget, and the campus and facilities.

College Advice |
Question: connecticut college?Can anyone tell me if its worth the crazy loans I'm going to have to take out to go there. I want to double major in philosophy and english ... strongly considering law school. Thanks for any help!21 months ago
Best AnswerConnecticut College is a very fine school with a great reputation which has turned out a very successful alumni. Whether the education one gets is worth the tarriff one has to pay is questionable especially if you intend to go to Law school. Our outlook for the boys' educations was, where do they want to go, can we afford the tuition,are they in the right atmosphere? We hit 2 for 3 and after a year away the oldest went back to the same college nights, worked a full job in the day time and graduated well. |
