Hampshire College, Massachusetts, Amherst - Courses & Fees

Amherst, Massachusetts

College Private (Not for Profit) College

Each science course offers students the opportunity to work closely with professors in small, inquiry-based classes, conduct original research, develop individual projects, and utilize Hampshire's unique open labs and exceptional equipment.
As in graduate school, students build a foundation of technical and analytical skills that they apply to sophisticated research projects. These skills are becoming increasingly valued in the field of medicine, which has been undergoing rapid changes.
Currently, medical schools look beyond the required science courses to a range of skills in applicants: the ability to collaborate, to work across disciplines, to be innovative: the very skills built into the Hampshire curriculum.
