Five College Faculty

The presence of the four liberal arts colleges in close vicinity to the University of Massachusetts Amherst, (Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke and Smith Colleges), offers us a unique resource.Five Colleges, Inc., affords the opportunity for the development of Five College certificate programs (such as Culture, Science and Health or Latin American Studies) for undergraduates, and for the availability of consulting faculty on our graduate M.A. and Ph.D. Comprehensive and Dissertation Committees.
