This article is about the liberal arts college in New London, Connecticut. For the public university in Storrs, Connecticut, see University of Connecticut.

Connecticut College (Conn) is a private liberal arts college in New London, Connecticut. Originally chartered as Thames College, it was founded in 1911 as the state's only women's college, a response to Wesleyan University having closed its doors to female students in 1909. The college became coeducational in 1969, adopting its current name.

Conn is a four-year residential undergraduate institution with approximately 1,700 students. Students choose courses from 41 programs, including interdisciplinary pathways and centers, with a majority choosing to study abroad. The college is situated on a hill located adjacent to the Thames River. In 1982, Conn was inducted as a member of the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC), where its athletes compete as part of NCAA Division III.

## History

[edit]

Connecticut College was chartered in 1911 as Connecticut's only women's college, having been established as a direct response to Wesleyan University's decision to stop admitting women.[8][9] Elizabeth C. Wright and other Wesleyan alumnae convinced others to found this new college, espousing the increasing desire among women for higher education.[10][11] To that end, the institution was founded as the Connecticut College for Women. Their initial endowment came from financial assistance from the city of New London and its residents, along with a number of wealthy benefactors. The college sits on a former dairy farm owned by Charles P. Alexander of Waterford. He died in 1904 and his wife Harriet (Jerome) Alexander died in 1911. Their son Frank sold a large part of the land to the trustees to found Connecticut College.[12]

The Hartford Daily Times ran an article on October 12, 1935, marking the college's 20th anniversary: "On September 27, 1915, the college opened its doors to students. The entering class was made up of 99 freshmen students, candidates for degrees, and 52 special students, a total registration of 151. A fine faculty of 23 members had been engaged and a library of 6,000 volumes had been gathered together." The college became co-educational in 1969, as President Charles E. Shain claimed that there was evidence that women were becoming uninterested in attending women's colleges.[13] At that time, the school adopted its current name, Connecticut College.

In the spring of 2023, students, faculty, and staff began protesting against college president Katherine Bergeron, who had been president of the college for nearly a decade. The protests focused on allegations of bullying and actions related to diversity and equity, most notably a decision to hold a college fundraiser at the Everglades Club, a social club and venue that has longstanding accusations of discrimination against black and Jewish people. Students occupied the administrative building, Fanning Hall, for ten days, senior staff publicly resigned, and faculty voted no confidence in her. Students also organized a march around campus in support of Jewish and minority peers, with many students calling Bergeron racist and anti-Semitic. On March 24, 2023, after negotiation with faculty, the board of trustees, and ad-hoc student groups, Bergeron announced that she would resign at the end of the Spring 2023 semester, one year before her contract was to expire. On June 30, 2023, her last day in office, the board of trustees awarded her the title of President Emerita.[14][15]

On July 1, 2023, Leslie Wong began service as interim president of the college.[16] Andrea Chapdelaine, then-president of Hood College, was selected by the search committee to be the College's 12th president.[17] Her term officially began on June 1, 2024.[18] Chapdelaine was inaugurated on April 26, 2025.[19]

## Campus

[edit]

The main campus has three residential areas. The North Campus contains the newest residential halls. The South Campus contains residence halls along the west side of Tempel Green, across from several academic buildings. The oldest dorms on campus are Plant House and Blackstone House, which were founded in 1914.[20][21] The campus houses the Winslow Ames House.[citation needed]

Connecticut College's two principal libraries are the Charles E. Shain Library and the Greer Music Library, which is located in the Cummings Arts Center. The Shain Library houses a collection of more than 500,000 books and periodicals and an extensive collection of electronic resources. It is also home to The Linda Lear Center for Special Collections and Archives, and to the Charles Chu Asian Art Reading Room.[22] The Lear Center has more than fifty book, manuscript, and art collections including research archives devoted to Rachel Carson, Eugene O'Neill, and Beatrix Potter.[23] The Charles Chu Asian Art Reading Room serves both as a quiet reading area and as the permanent exhibition space for the Chu-Griffis Art Collection.[24]

The student center is "The College Center at Crozier-Williams" (often shortened to "Cro"), and is located in the middle of the campus. The student center houses the Connecticut College bookstore (which doubles as a small convenience store), the campus post office, the Oasis Snack Shop, and the campus bar, Humphrey's (formerly The Cro Bar). There are also student services offices as well as faculty offices and performance spaces for the Dance department.

Cummings Art Center

The Charles E. Shain Library was originally dedicated in 1976 and is named after former College President Charles Shain. It was renovated, expanded, and re-dedicated in 2015. The renovation was honored by the American Institute of Architects with a 2015 New England Honor Award in the category of Preservation.[25] In 2016, LibraryJournal named the library a New Landmark Libraries Winner.[26]

Performance spaces on campus include: Palmer Auditorium, Tansill Theater, housed in Hillyer Hall; Myers Dance Studio,[27] housed in Crozier-Williams College Center; Harkness Chapel; and Evans Music Hall, Fortune Recital Hall, and Oliva Hall, all located in Cummings Art Center.[28]

Palmer Auditorium was home to the American Dance Festival from 1947 to 1977, featuring choreographers such as Martha Graham, José Limón, and Merce Cunningham in what was called "the most important summertime event in modern dance."[29]

The campus makes up part of the Connecticut College Arboretum. This arboretum and botanical garden is free and open to the public year-round.[30]

Harkness Chapel was designed by architect James Gamble Rogers, exhibiting his colonial Georgian style, with twelve stained glass windows by G. Owen Bonawit. The building is used for denominational religious services, as well as for ceremonies, concerts and recitals, weddings, and other public functions.[31]

The Lyman Allyn Art Museum is also located on campus, and while some classes are taught there, it is not part of the College itself. The museum's website states that "the permanent collection includes over 10,000 paintings, sculpture, drawings, prints, furniture, and decorative arts, with an emphasis on American art from the 18th through 20th centuries."[32][33] The collection is housed in a neo-classical building designed by Charles A. Platt.[34]

## Academics

[edit]

Harkness House

Connecticut College is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education; it has been so continuously by NECHE or its predecessor since December 1932.[35] The college's academics are organized into thirty-one academic departments and seven interdisciplinary programs with forty-one traditional majors plus opportunities for self-designed courses of study. Starting with the class of 2020, students at Connecticut College participate in a new interdisciplinary general education curriculum called Connections.[36][37]

Its most popular majors, by 2024 graduates, were:[38] Psychology (55), Economics (44), Computer Science (32), Government (29), and Biological Sciences (26).[5]

Connecticut College has a history of undergraduate research work and students are encouraged to make conference presentations and publish their work under the guidance of a professor.[39] The college had 187 full-time faculty members in 2024-25; 96% held a doctorate or other terminal degree. The student-faculty ratio is about 9.4 to 1.[5]

### Admissions

[edit]

Admission to the college is considered "more selective" by U.S. News & World Report.[40] The college received 7,950 applications for the Class of 2028 of which 2,945 (36%) were accepted. Of the students in the entering class who submitted SAT scores, the middle 50% range was 690-755 for evidence-based reading and writing, and 660-740 for Math.[41]
