Smith College combines the focused academic culture of a women's liberal arts college with unusual breadth and professional ambition through its Praxis Program, which integrates hands-on internship and community engagement experiences into the academic curriculum. The Five College Consortium membership gives Smith students access to courses at UMass Amherst, Amherst, Hampshire, and Mount Holyoke, dramatically expanding academic options while preserving the intimate community of a 2,600-student college. Smith's engineering program—one of the only ABET-accredited engineering programs at a liberal arts college—reflects the institution's commitment to providing women with access to traditionally male-dominated fields.
