Learning Without Limits

Their only requirement outside their major will be one first-year writing course, which means they’ll enjoy maximum freedom to pursue what excites them while choosing from more than 1,000 classes.

Also, because Smith is a member of the Five College Consortium, your student will also have the opportunity to take courses at four other distinguished institutions within a 12-mile radius of Smith’s campus.
