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 multi-disciplinary, multi-cultural 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. Location/Contact HAMPSHIRE COLLEGE
