A Top-Ranked Study Abroad Program
We offer well-designed and often unique opportunities to study and understand the world. As a result, we're ranked among the top 10 colleges in the nation for the percentage of students studying overseas. A majority of our students study off-campus at some point during their four years at Hartwick. More about study abroad and off-campus programs …
Student/Faculty Collaboration
Lectures are a small fraction of a Hartwick education. Everywhere you look, you see students and faculty working together: faculty advisers and students shaping students' schedules; faculty and students discussing ideas and issues; faculty scholars and students working together on projects that contribute new knowledge and change commonly held beliefs. In short, thinking and doing together. More about student-faculty research opportunities…
January Term
For one glorious month every year, our students focus their energy and attention directly on a singular topic of their choice. Our January Term allows students to enroll in a single course or independent study on campus, do an off-campus internship, or study abroad. More about January Term…
