Hampshire College: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Hampshire College is a college in the United States that offers foundation, bachelor's, and master's study. It suits students who want a very small programme list and want to confirm exactly which course option fits before applying.

  2. What you can study

    Study options are limited to three programmes: International Business Foundation, Level 8 Degree in Business and Hotel Management, and Level 9 Degree in Business and Hospitality. The available degree levels are Foundation, Bachelor's Degree, and Master's Degree, so the programme catalogue is narrow and focused on business and hospitality.

  3. Getting in

    International applicants should apply through the official Hampshire College website and check the current entry requirements for the specific programme they want. The college does not publish detailed admissions steps in the information available here, so confirm documents, deadlines, and any country-specific requirements with the admissions office.

  4. What it costs

    Hampshire College does not publish a tuition fee range for international students; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in Amherst, Massachusetts will depend on housing, food, transport, and personal spending, so check those separately before you apply.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The instruction language is not published, so confirm that directly with the college before applying. If you are moving from abroad, check visa documents, entry requirements for your programme, and whether your chosen course is available at the degree level you need.

  6. How it compares

    There are 2,515 universities in the United States, so Hampshire College sits in a very crowded market and has to be judged on its own course list rather than scale. Compared with many U.S. options, it stands out for a very small set of programmes and only three listed degree levels.

Written from this university's catalogue entry and its cited encyclopedia summary. Figures are only shown where the institution or a cited source publishes them β€” always confirm fees and entry requirements with the university itself before applying.
