Forms and Applications
- Carleton is an independent and highly selective private liberal arts college with a diverse and able student body, a strong faculty whose first priority is teaching, and a continued commitment to the liberal arts.
- The 507 members of the Class of 2010 were chosen from among 4,461 applicants. Carleton enrolls 1,900 students, who come from all 50 states and 27 different countries.
