Hampshire College was founded in 1965 to radically reimagine liberal arts education. Today, we’re more unconventional than ever, and we’re organized in a way that’s different from any other college in the world.

Your college experience here will be unlike anywhere else—and unlike anyone else’s.

You choose the faculty advisors you’ll work with to create your own curriculum to address the big questions, challenges, or issues that interests you most. At Hampshire, your education focuses on:

  • personalized, independent work,
  • no majors or departments,
  • close collaboration with faculty,
  • hands-on experience through study abroad, short-term field studies, internships, volunteer work,
  • advanced independent projects, and much more.
