As a Catholic liberal arts college, Elms College seeks to help you grow as a scholar, athlete, friend, and person of faith. In short--to enable you to leave Elms College a richer, more confident person than when you came.

You'll find that becoming a complete person will involve more than your studies. It entails becoming part of our tight-knit community.

This can involve everything from playing soccer (about 45 percent of our students play a varsity sport) and serving on Elms' diversity council to organizing a food drive for the homeless and attending lectures, concerts, and movies on campus.

Located in the Pioneer Valley of western Massachusetts, Elms College is part of a collegiate corridor (from the Five Colleges to the north to the Cooperating Colleges of Greater Springfield) which makes this part of the country a hub for music, art, museums, and social action.

You'll also have access to the rolling Berkshire Mountains for hiking, camping, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, and the stunning show of fall colors put on every year by our Massachusetts forests.
