Colgate University is a highly selective, globally elite liberal arts college set in a rural environment, boasting an outsized reputation. Admission is fiercely competitive — only a small fraction of applicants receive an offer, and successful candidates typically present outstanding academic records alongside distinctive personal narratives. The university excels across a broad spectrum of STEM disciplines, offering top-tier bachelor's programs in Astrogeophysics, Astronomy-Physics, Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Environmental Biology, Molecular Biology, Neuroscience, and Physics, complemented by pre-professional tracks like Pre-engineering and dedicated minors in the core sciences. Beyond STEM, Colgate provides a robust array of bachelor’s degree programs, including distinctive offerings in Africana and Latin American Studies, Anthropology, Art History, Asian Studies, and Chinese, alongside specialized Scholars and International Programs, reflecting a strong commitment to both rigorous scientific inquiry and the comprehensive liberal arts.

The vertical axis shows rank position — lower is better; years without published data are omitted.

How to Read These Rankings

Liberal Arts Colleges: Covers U.S. liberal arts colleges devoted primarily to undergraduate education, using a similar factor mix to the National Universities ranking (graduation and retention, faculty resources, reputation) but no research-volume measures. These colleges are small, with small classes and teaching-focused faculty — a good fit for students who value discussion-based learning and a broad undergraduate education.
