First-generation students contribute greatly to the intellectual life and the vibrancy of the Carleton experience.
At Carleton College, we consider you to be first-generation if neither of your parents or legal guardian(s) received a bachelor’s degree. First-generation status applies even if you have an older sibling who attended college before you.
Please visit our online directory showcasing many of Carleton’s first-generation faculty and staff. All of them want to connect with and support our students.
