Environments and Change
How should we act on our responsibilities in the face of changing climate?
如何学习
紧急的. 无限. 创业.
be the entrepreneur of your own education
You will not come to Hampshire to pursue a major. A student’s job when they get here isn’t to declare a major, it’s to discover their mission.
你可以选择 教师顾问 to work with as you create an individualized academic curriculum addressing the big question, 挑战, or issue you're most interested in.
You'll work across, between, and without disciplines to curate your own original course of study. You'll be 挑战d with the freedom to formulate questions never asked before.
tackle real world issues
The world has big problems. Traditional models of departments and schools can’t address these 挑战s effectively. So we’ve organized ourselves around Learning Collaboratives. Through these groups of academic resources, students and professors come together to address the pressing real world concerns facing society today.
And we will not remain static. As global 挑战s shift, so do the topics of our Collaboratives. We evolve and change to reflect the world around us.
Take part in a curriculum that reflects the world around us—ever-changing, 流体, and never contained within a single discipline. Focus on working with your peers and faculty members to directly tackle 21st-century 挑战s and enact real change in the world.
Pursue Knowledge Through Stages
You advance through a divisional structure rather than traditional school years. Each Division requires a portfolio review, including narrative feedback from each course, final papers and projects, community-engaged learning, other meaningful work, and a retrospective, capped off by a yearlong Div三世 project of your own design.
Div我
The first year emphasizes learning across a wide range of critical, 科学, and creative approaches through our transdisciplinary curriculum, gaining skills for learning in community with others, and engaging in project-based learning in supported contexts.
You'll be mentored by an advisor, and through our advising networks of students, staff, and faculty.
Div二世
The second and third years are all about deep inquiry into your own interests. Guided by a team of advisors, you will design your own concentration, strengthen your connections in communities of learners, and grow toward independent project-based learning.
Your advisors and advising networks advise you about classes to take, 实习, 出国留学, and other opportunities to pursue your passions.
Div三世
The fourth year is your chance to push your learning further, 承担风险, and tackle the meaningful 挑战 you’ve envisioned.
Do the research no one has ever done. Build a robot that teaches itself to climb. Write a textbook that revolutionizes how middle-school science or history is taught. Write a collection of poems or stories. Interview clinicians about how to improve mental health treatment. Produce a feature documentary, or your own choreographed dance performance. Design and distribute new software or apps. Design and curate an interactive art exhibit.
A better way to learn.
Narrative Evaluations
These evaluations parallel professional performance reviews, helping students identify their areas of growth potential along with their areas of strength.
研究领域
We don’t box you in with traditional majors or departments. Build a program that aligns with your interests, passions, questions, and goals.
Community-Engaged Learning
The study of theory is combined with direct "real-world" experience like an internship, project with community organizations or peers, field research involving community agencies, 和更多的.
