Description:
Education at Hampshire College prepares students
to understand and participate responsibly in a
complex world. Through its actions and policies,
the college sets an example of the responsible
and creative behavior it expects of its
students.
As a liberal arts college, Hampshire helps
students develop confidence in their intellect,
creativity, and values. It encourages their
desire to be lifelong learners and their
capacity to advance the cause of social justice
and the well-being of others. The college
fosters these attitudes through: a
multidisciplinary, multicultural curriculum;
self-initiated, individual programs of study
negotiated with faculty mentors; students'
active participation in original research; and
the diverse communities, on campus and off, in
which learning takes place. Within the college's
residential community students encounter and
learn to respect difference and appreciate
diversity, thereby enhancing their capacity to
live together well.
Through commitment to testing and evaluating new
ideas and new approaches to learning, national
efforts to promote inquiry-based learning and
teaching, and constructive civic and social
engagement, Hampshire's actions serve as models
for those of its students.
