Students choose from nine concentrations and embark on five years of tailor-made instruction. Mentored by expert faculty and supported by peers, students deliver meaningful insight into their fields of study, and go on to be major contributors in the business world, the lecture hall and beyond.
With nine fields of concentration, students can pursue a path that best fits their passion and future goals. In addition, students enjoy an active, engaged community marked by a highly collaborative culture, a diverse student population, and opportunities to gain skills as research assistants and teachers. All of these benefits are nestled in Amherst, one of the best college towns in the US.
Our students receive critical guidance from professors who are internationally recognized for their research and teaching expertise. As a top research institution, we offer an optimal environment for students to conduct rigorous, critical research by providing cutting-edge technology and access to leading experts in supporting fields.
