 A Cottey education is designed to provide young women with a solid academic foundation in the liberal arts while facilitating transfer to another institution to earn a bachelor’s degree. Cottey’s academic program focuses on developing the knowledge and skills necessary to develop intellectual engagement and thoughtful action.
The high quality curriculum at Cottey challenges students to explore a wide range of academic disciplines. Students who begin study in their chosen major will also benefit from the broad exposure provided by a liberal arts foundation. Those students who have not decided on a major are exposed to a variety of courses and receive assistance in determining their academic strengths and future career path.
Cottey prepares young women to continue their education to the baccalaureate level and beyond. After two years of focused study and work with dedicated faculty, Cottey graduates transfer to institutions across the country to complete a bachelor’s degree. Some graduates prefer to transfer to a liberal arts college, while others select public colleges, regional universities, or major research universities. Alumnae report one thing in common—the ability to shape their destiny based on the intellectual motivation and excellent academic preparation they received at Cottey. More information about transfer.
