College Private (Not for Profit) College

Hampshire College is a member of the Five College Architectural Studies Program, and students have the option of obtaining a Five College major.
The program is fiercely interdisciplinary, combining the history, theory, and design of the built environment.
Students design their own concentration for their Division II and can combine any number of fields of interest, from topics such as spirituality and space, to ecology and design, to sustainable transportation systems, to memorialization and urban planning.
Many of our students choose to concentrate in sustainable practices and community design, working in the studio and in the local community. Indeed, our goal is nothing less than to change the way in which we live in the world.
