INTRODUCTION:
Worlds of Experience. Lives of Consequence.
Hobart and William Smith are small, residential Colleges where learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door. Nearly all of the 2,100 students live on campus and many live in learning communities and theme houses that focus on community-building. Students hail from 40 states and 11 countries, speaking, in total, more than 30 languages. Nearly 60 percent of students study abroad. As a result, the HWS community is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive student body.
With an average class size of just 17 students and an 11:1 student to faculty ratio, students develop rewarding one-on-one partnerships with faculty mentors, often resulting in published papers or presentations at national conferences. HWS offer 45 majors and 65 minors. More than 60 percent of students create an independent course or major and many courses provide service-learning experiences, internships and job opportunities.

ENGAGED STUDENTS
Under the mentorship of faculty and guided by a curriculum grounded in exploration and rigor, Hobart and William Smith students are transformed. Through carefully designed academic, service and study abroad programs and an extensive array of internships, HWS students hone their skills and gain the necessary clarity to be competitive when seeking employment. They win prestigious fellowships like Rhodes, Fulbright and Gates. They gain admittance to the best graduate programs in the world. They go on to lead lives of consequence.
Adhering to the liberal arts tradition, HWS provides a broad educational experience. This is realized through the requirement that students declare both a major and a minor, or two majors—one in a disciplinary and one in an interdisciplinary area of study. There are 45 majors and 65 minors to choose from. Additionally, 61 percent of HWS students create an independent course or major to fit their academic interests in consultation with faculty advisers.
While only two percent of students nationwide study abroad, at HWS 59 percent do so on every continent except Antarctica. Hobart and William Smith have one of the strongest abroad programs in the country; The Princeton Review recently ranked HWS 18th in the nation.
As early as their first semester on campus, HWS students explore how their interests, values and skills can translate into a career. When they are ready for advanced research, internships, job placement or graduate study, the Salisbury Center for Career Services
