From its beginning, Skidmore has sustained
a dual commitment to the liberal arts and the professions. Working
closely with advisors, students develop programs appropriate
to their backgrounds and goals. Students’ individualized
studies may focus on liberal arts areas such as English, history,
psychology, and biology, preprofessional areas such as business,
or interdisciplinary combinations. Some examples of interdisciplinary
fields are human behavior, religion and culture, arts management,
organizational behavior, and public administration.
Students earn a B.A. or B.S. degree from Skidmore College. The
program is registered with the State of New York and, as a division
of Skidmore, is accredited by the Middle States Association
of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
