Cottey, a leader in women’s education, brings its unique strengths to the new four-year degree programs. Cottey is known for its academic rigor, women’s leadership programs, international experience offered to all students, and supportive campus community. Today you can apply those advantages to all four years of your undergraduate education.
All of Cottey’s Bachelor of Arts programs include a focus on women’s leadership, social responsibility, and global awareness in addition to the specific major requirements. Faculty have developed learning experiences that distinguish Cottey as a leader in women’s education. The Bachelor of Arts builds on the core strengths of Cottey College: an academically challenging environment with leadership opportunities for women, including an international experience, on a close, yet energetic, campus community.
The Bachelor of Arts programs are interdisciplinary. Regardless of which major you choose, you’ll have opportunities each semester to take specific courses that cross the boundaries of your bachelor’s program, particularly courses on leadership and global awareness.
For years, Cottey has offered an international experience for all second-year students over the first week of spring break. The bachelor’s program in International business and relations extends opportunities for travel and study abroad. For example, the Bachelor of Arts in International Relations and Business has a one-semester study abroad component. As a graduate of Cottey College, you’ll have valuable experience knowing how to do business in that country and understand its political perspective from a personal and practical point of view.
Each program will also have a capstone project in the final semester, which is where you put all that knowledge and experience together to demonstrate the depth of your education. You’ll leave here prepared for graduate school or work as a professional in your field.
English
Students may pursue a traditional English major track, OR one that emphasizes women writers. This program offers a unique educational experience by combining a traditional English major with a women’s studies emphasis, encourages study and research, and grounds students firmly in key skills highly valued in the world today: reading deeply, thinking critically, and writing
effectively. Students learn to be contributing members of a global society and develop their personal and professional lives of intellectual engagement and thoughtful action as learners, leaders, and citizens.
