a personalized academic experience aligned with your interests.

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.
