Hence, the college's core belief that creative thought matters. With a diverse student body of 2,400 from 50 states and 40 countries and a faculty of 250 dedicated teacher-scholars, Skidmore offers more than 60 majors in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences, as well as in career-specific fields such as business, education, exercise science, and social work. Skidmore is known for its interdisciplinary approach to learning, faculty-student collaborative research, off-campus study (60% of students study abroad), and the prominence of the performing and visual arts, enhanced by the unique Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery and award-winning Arthur Zankel Music Center. The college's rigorous academic program begins with the foundational First-Year Experience which integrates the curricular, co-curricular, and residential aspects of a student's first year, and gets them connected and involved in the life of the community from day one. Students enjoy close relationships with talented faculty members who have earned recognition through Guggenheim, Pulitzer, and Emmy awards, and fellowships and grants from Fulbright, MacArthur, and the National Science Foundation, among others. Sixty percent of students carry two majors or add a related minor to their major. More than half of Skidmore students pursue advanced degrees within five years of graduation.
