The character of Colby-Sawyer College
Colby-Sawyer College is a dynamic and innovative liberal arts and sciences college located in the scenic Lake Sunapee Region of central New Hampshire.
During their college careers, 100% of our students participate in one or more internships in their field of study. They also create Learning Portfolios, allowing them to demonstrate their ongoing progress and achievement. Colby-Sawyer students conclude their senior year with a Capstone project in which they develop and demonstrate a deeper body of knowledge in their academic major.
