Revolutionizing Education. Reimagining the Future.
Since 1970, we've been transforming how college works and (re)defining how progress is made.

Burning Questions. Bold Solutions.
Our collaborative approach to learning allows us to urgently tackle our world's most complex challenges. At Hampshire, you're guided by esteemed and expert faculty members as you pursue your individual questions, generate original research, and prepare to make lasting impact.
