Welcome to Cottey College!

Dear Cottey College Parents,

We recognize the essential role that parents and family members play in the success of their student. This guide can assist you throughout your student's career at Cottey College. It will answer the questions that you have about life on the Nevada, Missouri campus.

The faculty and staff at Cottey College are committed to the development of the whole person. While the formal academic experience is the centerpiece of collegiate life, the student life staff strives to support and complement the academic program to make it as meaningful as possible. Our primary mission is to assist students in making a successful adjustment to collegiate life.

In order to promote the greatest possible learning and developmental growth of students within our academic community, the faculty and staff members are committed to creating an environment that encourages learning, involvement, introspection, maturation, and a balanced lifestyle.

Again, welcome to the Cottey community and Go Comets!
