“You come to your education with your own history
and background and experience; your own hopes for what
you want to do next." Juliana Minotty, Chicago,

A Low-Residency Graduate Degree Designed
for Working Adults
Working one-on-one with Skidmore faculty,
master’s students handcraft individualized concentrations
in every area of the liberal arts. After taking a weeklong introductory
seminar on campus, students typically complete the rest of their
coursework at a distance through individualized tutorials with
Skidmore professors, in-class courses at universities near their
homes, supervised internships, and/or study abroad.
Studying part-time, students take an
average of two-and-a-half years to complete the program’s
30 credits. Graduates enter Ph.D. programs and professional
schools, further their current careers and start new ones. Apply now
for July!
Fit your education into your life Designed for students who are balancing their studies
with career and family, the Master’s Program enables students
anywhere in the world to immerse themselves in a graduate education
without uprooting themselves from their jobs or homes. After
coming to the Skidmore campus for a week-long introductory seminar
in July or January, students take most of the rest of their
coursework through one-on-one tutorials with Skidmore faculty.

structure.
Design your own curriculum Each master’s student works one-on-one
with faculty advisors to handcraft individualized concentrations
focused on his or her specific area of interest. Typically,
students take their own approach to these concentrations, combining
coursework in several areas to explore the questions they find
most fascinating. Learn more about Academic
Advising.
Work one-on-one with Distinguished Faculty Students take most of their
courses as independent studies with faculty at Skidmore College
and other top universities across the country, with independent
scholars, and with visual and performing artists. Students collaborate
with their instructors to design these courses, and typically
take them at a distance through e-mail, phone, and surface mail.
