Academics are at the core of the Carleton experience. During your four years here you will gain a new breadth of knowledge through a liberal arts curriculum that exposes you to a wide variety of disciplines. And you will acquire a depth of understanding in your chosen major field. Along the way you will no doubt uncover previously hidden talents and more fully explore your special strengths.

Everyone's intellectual journey is unique. Carleton professors understand this. They are serious scholars, who are highly respected in their field, but they are teachers first. Carleton faculty offers more than knowledge. They challenge you. They guide you to new insights about the world and about yourself, and they share their passion for the learning adventure that will stay with students for a lifetime.
