At Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, we make it our mission to ensure every student has the resources, support, and experience to thrive. When we invest in our Trailblazers, the impact reaches far beyond our campus here in the Berkshire Mountains—to families, hometowns, and the communities our graduates go on to serve.  

MCLA is the most affordable four-year college in the state. While others may resort to discounting their tuition to make their college more affordable, at MCLA, we don’t have to. We are proud to say our students graduate with less overall debt than any other four-year college in Massachusetts, providing them with a stronger foundation for financial security and future growth.
