College is one of the most significant investments you’ll make. You deserve a
return that exceeds expectations. That’s where the Skidmore 360 Promise comes in.

Student Stories
At Skidmore, students often say they come here to "do both." They’re drawn by the
freedom to pursue multiple passions — whether it’s science and music, performance
and politics, or any combination in between.
And while we could tell you all about it, we think you should hear it from them.
