Academic Departments and Programs

How do we align academic theory with day-to-day reality?

From our beginning we’ve believed that the life of the mind is vitally linked to a life of creativity, practicality, and action. So we’ve developed an array of majors, minors, and special study programs that will enable you to create a cohesive learning experience that means something now and in the future. A Skidmore education will equip you for exciting career options, for the opportunities and responsibilities of our global society, and for a lifetime of learning and growth. 
It will help you harness what’s best in you and connect it to the real world.
