- Hampshire is a member of the Five College consortium, which also includes Amherst, Mount Holyoke and Smith Colleges, and the University of Massachusetts. Students have a choice of over 5,000 courses per year taught by more than 2,300 faculty members, access to 9 million library volumes, and the opportunity to join Five College community service, cultural, political and religious organizations or attend lectures, concerts and performances on the different campuses.
- As a liberal arts college, Hampshire helps students develop confidence in their intellect, creativity, and values. It encourages their desire to be lifelong learners and their capacity to advance the cause of social justice and the well-being of others. The college fosters these attitudes through: a multidisciplinary, multicultural curriculum; self-initiated, individual programs of study negotiated with faculty mentors; students' active participation in original research; and the diverse communities, on campus and off, in which learning takes place. Within the college's residential community students encounter and learn to respect difference and appreciate diversity, thereby enhancing their capacity to live together well.
- Hampshire College is fully accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. Membership in the Association indicates that the institution has been carefully evaluated and found to meet standards agreed upon by qualified educators.
