“I have learned the importance of understanding nature in creating manmade landscapes and how art involves politics, business, and economics, in addition to providing beauty and inspiration.”

our story
The Colby-Sawyer College story began back in 1837, when local citizens gathered to create a coeducational secondary academy on a hill in lovely New London, N.H. The school evolved into a junior college for women in 1928, before becoming the comprehensive liberal arts college for men and women that it is today.
The college has since become a rising star among comprehensive baccalaureate colleges in the North, recognized for its low student-to-faculty ratio, small classes, closely knit community and personalized quality of education.
