Carleton College:
Carleton College, situated in the historic river town of Northfield, Minnesota, is a small, private liberal arts college offering Bachelor of Arts degree programs in the arts, humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences. Carleton College is committed to providing a true liberal arts education, a curriculum that challenges our students to learn broadly and think deeply. Instead of training for one narrow career path, Carleton students develop the knowledge and skills to succeed in any walk of life.
Northfield, Minnesota (population 17,000) is a historic Midwestern river town with two colleges: Carleton, of course, and St. Olaf. The notorious Jesse James met his downfall here in 1876, which the Northfielders celebrate every September with the Defeat of Jesse James Days festival.
