Academics
Study what speaks to you
Why choose just one path? With over 44 majors, 50 minors, and an average class size of just 16, you’ll collaborate closely with professors and advisors to create a personalized academic experience aligned with your interests.

Campus life
Find yourself at home

With award-winning dining and dorms, a picturesque campus, and a sought-after location — it's no wonder the Princeton Review ranks us #14 for Best Quality of Life and #11 for Happiest Students.

High value
Expect more from your college
College is one of the most significant investments you’ll make. You deserve a return that exceeds expectations. That’s where the Skidmore 360 Promise comes in. Beyond rigorous academics, we offer four years of unparalleled extracurricular opportunities — the “extras” that set us apart as a top-tier institution.

In their words
Student Stories

At Skidmore, students often say they come here to "do both." They’re drawn by the freedom to pursue multiple passions — whether it’s science and music, performance and politics, or any combination in between.

And while we could tell you all about it, we think you should hear it from them.
