Colgate University is a private college in Hamilton, New York. The liberal arts college was founded in 1819 as the Baptist Education Society of the State of New York and operated under that name until 1823, when it was renamed Hamilton Theological and Literary Institution, often called Hamilton College (1823–1846), then Madison College (1846–1890), and its present name since 1890.
Colgate enrolls approximately 3,200 students in 56 undergraduate majors that culminate in a Bachelor of Arts degree.[10] The student body is 54% female and 46% male students who participate in over 200 clubs and organizations.[11] While Colgate offers almost an entirely undergraduate program, it also has a small graduate program in Master of Arts in Teaching.[12] The college competes in NCAA Division I sports and is part of the Patriot League athletic conference and ECAC Hockey.
