Back to EpisodesHampshire College Closes: A Liberal Arts Loss
Description
Hampshire College, a small liberal arts institution in Amherst, Massachusetts, is closing after this fall semester due to low enrollment and financial struggles. Despite efforts to stabilize the budget, the board was unable to prevent the closure. Students can complete their degrees or transfer to partner schools. The closure is part of a trend where nearly 300 U.S. colleges have closed since 2008, with some seeing it as a sign of economic struggles and a shift away from liberal arts models.
