The Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA) is a public state college located in North Adams, Massachusetts. Originally established as part of the state's normal school system for training teachers, it now offers a variety of programs leading to Bachelor of Science and Arts degrees, as well as a Master of Education track. MCLA is the smallest college in the state system.
MCLA was founded in 1894 as the North Adams Normal School, and it offered a two year training course for school teachers. It became the State Teachers College at North Adams in 1932, when Bachelor of Science in Education degrees were first offered, followed five years later by a Master of Education program.
The school was restyled North Adams State College with the 1960 expansion into professional and liberal arts programs, and received its current name in 1997 to recognize its emphasis on the latter.
From the 1960s, the college's athletic teams were known as the Mohawks. In response to concerns about racial stereotyping, the name Trailblazers was adopted in 2002.
