Write a Review! B ATES
College, widely regarded as one of the finest liberal arts
colleges in the nation, is dedicated to the principle of
active engagement. A 10-1 student-faculty ratio makes possible close collaborations
in classroom and laboratory, and the Bates learning experience is
honed through seminars, research, service-learning, and the capstone of senior
thesis. Typically, two-thirds of Bates' 1,700 students study abroad. Co-curricular
life is rich: most students participate in club and varsity
sports; many participate in performing arts; and almost all students
participate in one of more than 90 student-run clubs or
organizations. Alumni frequently cite the capacities they developed at Bates
for critical assessment, analysis, expression, aesthetic sensibility and independent thought.
About 40 percent of students participate in career internships, and
more than two-thirds of recent graduates enroll in graduate study
within 10 years after graduation. Bates was founded in 1855
by Maine abolitionists, and Bates graduates have always included men
and women from diverse racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds. The
people on the Bates admissions staff read your application carefully,
several times. We get to know you from that
reading. Your high school record and the quality of
your writing are particularly important. We strongly encourage a
personal interview, either on campus or with an alumni representative.
Students who choose not to interview may be placing
themselves at a disadvantage in the selection process. Location/Contact
