Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts

Nestled in the rolling hills of the Berkshires, MCLA offers students the experience of a small private college at a public cost. MCLA provides students with an ideal learning environment, combining rigorous academic training with broad opportunities for learning outside the classroom.

MCLA’s small size fosters a tight-knit community among students and faculty. The curriculum at MCLA emphasizes the development of strong analytical and communication skills that prepares students for the workforce. We offer rigorous professional programs in computer science and information systems, business administration and education, and abundant research opportunities in programs such as biology, physics and psychology. Our educational philosophy is that students learn best by actively participating in their own education, and our curriculum provides opportunities for independent study, service learning, and study abroad.

The unique natural beauty, diverse cultural community and extraordinary recreational opportunities of the Berkshires provide the ideal setting for a rich learning and growing experience.
