Don’t lock yourself into a major in high school.

New College provides the flexibility to help students combine majors, especially those that give personal fulfillment (such as the classics) and relatively higher high-paying majors.

The flexible educational model.

New College offers students the opportunity to engage in independent tutorials, allowing them to explore a subject matter in greater depth than what is typically covered in a regular course.
