Hampshire College

Hampshire students come from diverse backgrounds and have wide-ranging academic interests, yet they share some important commonalities. Hampshire students have curious minds. They are passionate about learning and, most importantly, Hampshire students love their work.

Hampshire is a one-of-a-kind experience for students with the imagination and self-direction to work closely with faculty in shaping their own education. The freedom to design academic concentrations and combine interests, the opportunity to engage in substantial independent work, and the resources available within the Five College consortium are reasons current students repeatedly cite when sharing why they chose Hampshire.

If you are a prospective student, please complete Hampshire's Information Request Form so that we may send materials, including information regarding your areas of interest.
