- Skidmore offers more than sixty degree programs, including majors in both traditional liberal arts disciplines and preprofessional areas. The curriculum's flexibility allows students to major in one field and minor in another (an English major with a business minor, for example), pursue an interdepartmental major combining two disciplines, or design self-determined majors.
- Skidmore College was founded by Lucy Skidmore Scribner in 1903 as the Young Women's Industrial Club of Saratoga. The school rapidly developed into a thriving enterprise, and was chartered in 1911 by the New York Board of Regents as the Skidmore School of Arts.
- Skidmore's campus encompasses more than 750 acres of wooded land at the northwest edge of Saratoga Springs. Today Saratoga is best known as a resort, cultural, convention, and entertainment center revolving around horse racing, outdoor recreation, classical and popular music, dance, and theater. The city is well known for its restored Victorian mansions, which attract students of art and architecture. The Saratoga Spa State Park, with its springs and mineral waters, is of more than recreational interest to biology students, and the wealth of rock formations in the region brings geologists from around the world.
- Skidmore College recognizes that students' experiences outside the classroom are as challenging and educational as those within. Thus the college offers many services to help students make the best use of their cocurricular time. The Office of the Dean of Student Affairs is responsible for coordinating these services, which include student academic affairs, international programs, counseling, multicultural student affairs, health services, opportunity programs, residential life, religious life, career planning, student activities, and volunteer services.
