Want to be certain your first step into the world of
higher education is the best one? Then we invite you to take a closer look at
Cottey College. Cottey College, located in Nevada, Missouri, is a two-year,
independent, residential, liberal arts and sciences college for women.
Cottey students come from a wide variety of
backgrounds, and experiences, but they share a desire to grow intellectually and
personally. Cottey will inspire you to achieve more than you ever imagined. It
begins with our focus-the academic and personal growth of young women. It’s
also expressed in the lives of our graduates who often say, “I discovered
myself at Cottey.”

The successful Cottey student looks to broaden
her self-confidence, the scope of her talents, and her worldview. Women at
Cottey are ready to be challenged in the classroom, to take on leadership roles,
to develop meaningful relationships, and to find a voice of their own.
A Two-Year College Offering
Four-Year Experiences
At Cottey, we concentrate on what we do
best-providing two years of very focused and rigorous academics to move you
closer to earning a four-year degree. Cottey students fulfill the necessary
general education requirements as they gain a solid liberal arts foundation and
earn either an associate in arts or an associate in science degree. A Cottey
education isn’t complete without the many clubs and activities available
outside the classroom. We believe in offering our students abundant
opportunities to learn new skills, polish their talents, take risks, and explore
interests they have never before pursued.
Academic Adventures
When students sit in an average Cottey
classroom with about 13 other women, they can’t help but be engaged in the
learning process. Because Cottey faculty embrace their role as teachers and
mentors, they focus on capturing our students’ intellectual imagination and
helping them achieve their highest educational aspirations. “Above all, the
teachers here are really interested in seeing you succeed.” That sentiment is
echoed by many Cottey students.
Our academic program is divided into four
divisions: Fine Arts, Humanities, Science and Mathematics, and Social Science.
At Cottey, students are not pressured to declare a major; they are prepared to
declare a major at their next college or university. Our faculty and our
advisors in the Kolderie Academic Assistance Center are available to give
students as much academic and career guidance as they need or want. They help
our students map out a course plan that will ensure a smooth transfer.
A Community With a Global Focus
Every college campus has a distinct climate. Cottey is dynamic yet comfortable.
You’ll find the Cottey community surprisingly diverse. Our students typically
represent 12 different religions, 40 states, and about 15 countries. Missouri,
California, Texas, Washington, Nebraska, and Iowa are the most common home
states. Home countries of our international students include Bulgaria, Japan,
Romania, Nigeria, Brazil, France, Mexico, Canada, and Kenya, among many others.
International travel appears to positively impact
a student's world view. If only there were a way that all students could benefit
from an international experience. At Cottey College, the ideal becomes actuality
each spring with our International
Experience. Second-year students spend the first week of spring
break in a European city as culmination of the liberal arts experience. Thus
far, London and Paris have played host to our students, faculty and staff.
Rome/Florence Italy is our next destination.

Your Future

Financing Your Cottey Education

$18,710. This includes tuition, room and board and all fees. Approximately 97
percent of the student body receives some form of need-based or merit-based aid
in the form of scholarships, grants, campus employment, and loans.
Think of two years at Cottey as a big adventure
in a small place. We’re offering you a personal and academic adventure that
will put you on a direct course to a four-year degree, facilitate growth in your
talents, intellect, and self-confidence, and foster relationships with peers and
faculty that will enrich your life and extend well beyond your Cottey days.
Cottey is an ideal place for a young woman exploring the many options to shape
her future. Cottey might just be the best place for you.
