Coe College is a selective, private, nationally recognized four-year coeducational liberal arts institution providing superior educational experiences for students since 1851. Coe's residential campus is located in Cedar Rapids - Iowa's second largest city - and only hours from several major cities like Chicago, Minneapolis, Omaha, and St. Louis. The 1,400 students enrolled at Coe make up a diverse population, representing more than 33 states and over 15 foreign countries.C3: Creativity | Careers | Community emphasizes the connections between liberal education and careers and between Coe College and our region, known as the Creative Corridor. Through programming including internships, grants, experiential learning opportunities, sponsored visits from entrepreneurs and innovators, and expansive partnerships with local businesses, arts organizations, and nonprofits, students will explore career options associated with all areas of study. C3 focuses on the concept of creativity—the key to innovation in the arts, technology, and business—and students will be equipped to demonstrate to employers and graduate schools the value of critical thinking, communication, independent research, and integrative learning that are the hallmarks of their liberal arts experience. The Center significantly expands Coe's connections with regional alumni and leaders of businesses and other organizations in order to assist students with planning and carrying out projects, forming professional networks, and putting their Coe experiences to work in the wider world.
