Build Your Own Education at Hampshire College
You and your professors will work together to design your own program of study. You won't choose a major the way you might buy a product. Rather, you'll build a concentration out of your interests and intellectual curiosity, in close consultation with your faculty advisors.
Concentrations can include a broad range of interdisciplinary exploration; professors actively encourage you to cross traditional academic borders and follow your interests wherever they lead you.
Possible areas of study include:
Archaeology
Environmental Design
Entrepreneurship
Media Studies
Photography
These areas of study are intended as samples and do not reflect all possible courses and programs; all Hampshire students design their own areas of concentration in close concert with faculty committees.
