About Us :: Why Chester College?

At Chester College of New England, we offer you a sense of place: a place to learn, to create, to grow, to think, and to discover and be yourself. We offer you the opportunity to explore and expand your world.

Studying here offers many distinct advantages:

  • A low 12:1 student - to - faculty ratio that insures individual mentoring and attention.
  • A deeply committed faculty.
  • State of the art technology, resources, and community-oriented facilities.
  • A foundation in the liberal arts and the fine arts, and specialized programs of study that lead you to diverse employment opportunities.
Perhaps the most important resource that we provide is a creative, stimulating environment that nurtures you as an artist, a thinker, and a communicator. Our emphasis is on a solid artistic foundation, a liberal arts core curriculum and the skills and experience to ensure that for you, success is defined along more than one axis.

Building from a rigorous foundation in the liberal arts and the fine arts, we extend to you an invitation to open your eyes and your mind. We offer you the opportunity to pursue your personal passions and your professional interests among a like-minded community of scholars, readers, writers, thinkers, and artists.
