Considered one of the ‘Little Ivies,’ Bowdoin College is consistently ranked one of the best liberal arts schools in the nation. Students take advantage of a flexible curriculum than encourages interdisciplinary coursework and research. Most students complete independent studies, working one-on-one with professors on co-designed projects.
One of the most desirable small schools in America, Bowdoin offers students top-notch dining, great student housing and generous financial aid packages. Bowdoin stands firm on its commitment to eliminating loans from student aid packages, making its assistance particularly attractive. With a bold blueprint for liberal education, students are encouraged to think independently and to leave Bowdoin as agents of change for a complex world.
