We want the hard questions.
Our community is radically open— with abolitionist founders, inclusion is in our DNA.
You can see the whole world from here.
a l s o :
Our academic program starts with an intensive, often
interdisciplinary first-year seminar and ends with an intensive, often
interdisciplinary senior thesis. In between there’s a lot of (wait
for it) intensive, often interdisciplinary work, including funded
research opportunities, internships with regional and national firms
and organizations, and an astounding number of community-based
learning opportunities through our Harward Center.

We offer 33 majors; you can also design your own. Plus: Students
take two General Education Concentrations — a group of linked
courses coordinated under one theme (for instance, colonialism,
public health, 2-D and 3-D design). Thoughtfully designed by the
faculty, we call them GECs.

About 60 percent of our students study abroad at least once in
their four years. We offer access to nearly 200 programs around the
world and sponsor our own Fall Semester Abroad programs, plus
specialized Short Term trips (e.g., environmental studies in China,
indigenous politics in Mexico, theater production in Budapest).

All of our student-run clubs and organizations (nearly 100) are
open to every student. We’re not interested in exclusivity — which
helps explain why we’ve never had fraternities and sororities. It
also explains why our dining hall is called Commons and why
we’re pretty serious about hosting campus-wide events like Winter
Carnival, which features the legendary Puddle Jump.
Our 31 Division III teams play in the NESCAC, one of the nation’s
most competitive college athletic conferences. We love to compete
and we do a lot of winning, which of course is one of the goals. But
we’re in it because we love to play and because we believe that
discipline, teamwork and drive are equally important (and exciting)
aspects of a solid education. About 60 percent of our students are
involved in our intramural program.
We live in a small city called Lewiston, in the big, beautiful state
of Maine. Lewiston is actually a sister city to Auburn, just over
the Androscoggin River; together they’re known as L-A. It’s a
hardworking, worldly community; you could be important here;
you could even fall in love with it. We’re an easy drive to Maine’s
astonishing coastline, including Acadia National Park and our
own Bates–Morse Mountain Conservation Area, 600 acres on the
coast of Maine. We hike the Appalachian Trail, explore the White
Mountain National Forest.
And we ski!

a n d o F c o u r s e :
Visit us. It’s easy and eye-opening. You’ll check out some classes
and meet faculty. You’ll eat in our Dining Commons, get a feel for
campus and talk to us. We’re close to Portland (Maine) and close-ish
to Boston (Mass.). bates.edu/2018/visit
Admission to Bates is based on how much you’ve challenged
yourself in the classroom — and in the world — and the way you think
about your life. Significantly, it is not based on a set of test scores.
We were one of the first colleges to make SAT/ACT scores optional
for admission. bates.edu/2018/apply
Our financial aid program is another way in which we are open.
About 44% of our students receive need-based financial aid from
Bates; the average financial aid package is about $38,200. All of
our financial aid budget — $29 million — supports students with
demonstrated financial need and meets 100% of that need.
