Campus Description:
In common with other outstanding institutions of liberal
education, we seek to ensure that all students acquire a breadth
of understanding of human endeavor across the humanities, the
sciences, and the social sciences, as well as depth of knowledge
in a major field of study. In addition, the Colleges have been
leaders in the development of innovative programs of study that
make connections across disciplines and methods of inquiry.
Throughout the curriculum, the Colleges are committed to the
study of global interdependence and intercultural understanding.
As independent institutions for men and women, Hobart and
William Smith provide an opportunity for both equity and
critique in our students' daily lives. We believe that
understanding and respecting differences between individuals is
as essential to understanding our common humanity as it is to
understanding our separate identities. The Colleges are
committed to giving our students an international component as
well as service and internship opportunities.

Special Programs:
Hobart and William Smith Colleges are a student-centered
learning environment, globally focused, grounded in the values
of equity and service, developing citizens who will lead in the
21st century. The Colleges' commitment to these principles was
solidified in 1999 when they appointed the then director of the
Peace Corps as president of Hobart and William Smith. President
Mark D. Gearan has since reinforced the Colleges' commitment to
global understanding and study abroad opportunities, community
service, and service learning, with the goal of providing these
elements through contemporary facilities and state-of-the-art
technology. In maintaining this environment, the Colleges create
opportunities to engage faculty and students with other
languages and diverse cultures. The majority of students
participate in a study-abroad experience during their four years
here. These experiences enhance what takes place on campus in
the academic and social lives of students and it also allows the
community to delve into the broader intellectual world. The
academic program at Hobart and William Smith Colleges keeps this
highly interactive environment alive. The academic program is
set apart from peer institutions in terms of excellence and
opportunity. Education takes place not only inside well-taught
classes, but also outside in well-run off-campus programs and
well-conceived service projects. The colleges view civic
responsibility, community engagement, and international
education as integral components of a liberal arts education.
This rigorous academic program challenges students' minds while
expanding their horizons to new worlds.
