Social Studies Degrees

The Colby experience is challenging and uplifting, enlightening and provocative, dynamic and focused.
It is relationships between professors and students that transform both. It fosters intellectual and personal growth, with graduates emerging as conscientious, committed leaders ready to make a profound impact on their world.
A Colby education is distinctly inspired.
Railroad Square Cinema offers a venue for screening alternative films that don’t show up in chain cinemas. Students count on Railroad’s selections to be eclectic, funky, and diverse. They also sell unconventional snacks (like gourmet chocolate) and have a rotating display of local art in the lobby.
