Transfer Student Ratio

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. You choose the faculty advisors you’ll work with to create your own curriculum to address the big question, challenge, or issue you’re most interested in. At Hampshire, you advance through a Divisional structure rather than the traditional school years. Each Division requires a portfolio review, including narrative feedback from each course, final papers or projects, community-engaged learning, other meaningful work, and a retrospective, capped off by a yearlong Div III project of your own design.
