Did you know that, thanks to a unique interchange
between five esteemed educational institutions, Smith students get five colleges
for the price of one? It's true. In fact, approximately 5,000 undergraduates every
year cross-register for courses at one or more of the five campuses. All you need
to do the same is good academic standing and an institutional ID.

more about the Five Colleges >
Incorporated in 1965, Five Colleges, Inc. is one of
the oldest and most highly regarded consortiums in American higher education. Its
members are four private colleges (Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke and Smith) and
the public University of Massachusetts at Amherst (UMass). Cooperative arrangements
give faculty and students access to resources, facilities and courses for credit
on all five campuses. Fare-free Five College buses provide transportation day and
night, including service until 2 a.m. on weekends.
As a student in the Five College system you may choose
from more than 4,500 undergraduate course offerings a year. Collaborative academic
programs range from formally organized departments in astronomy and dance -- which
add to the offerings already in existence at the five individual schools -- to Five
College certificate programs, comparable to a minor, offered in African and Latin
American studies and international relations. Other options for study are offered
in geology and coastal and marine sciences; research trips in these areas give undergraduates
opportunities for field study in locales such as Belize and Death Valley. Medical
anthropology and peace and world security studies both offer opportunities for student
internships. Various forms of collaboration with departments such as theater and
dance give students from all five campuses opportunities to perform and learn, including
open auditions for all theater productions. |
