Comment on What percentage of students attend graduate school after Skidmore? What are some grad schools that Skidmore students have been accepted to within recent years? by Daniella Nordin

Hi there,

On average, within five years of graduating, 50% of Skidmore alumni have completed or are currently enrolled in graduate or professional school education. The five most popular graduate school fields five years out are:
1. Education
2. Law
3. Social Work
4. Business Administration
5. Art

Here is a sampling of graduate/professional schools chosen by 2011 graduates: Boston University, Clarkson University, Columbia University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, London School of Economics, New York University, Notre Dame University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and the University of Pennsylvania.

Hope that helps!

I’m glad to see this info! I was unsure about the dining options at Murray-Aikins Dining Hall and this is the exact information I was looking for since I’m Celiac. Thanks!

Comment on I’m a HS Senior who’s an International Baccalaureate Diploma candidate. I’ve noticed that when you discuss rigorous course schedules, you only mention honors and APs. Do you also take the IB rigor into consideration? by MrBlessings

Comment on You asked: How much would it cost to participate in a study abroad program? Is financial aid offered? by Silvia | Técnicas de estudio

I think there are always a lot of posibilities if you want to find them. I had to work to pay my studies when I was studing in Germany and I found it like an oportunity to learn and grow. It was de way to find my first job in Germany and the posibility to connect with pepople who were not students …

Do you accept international students? One of my friend is looking for such an option.

Comment on I know Skidmore has a self determined major. How does that work/get created? Do you know of any student who has created a communications/media studies major? by Daniella

Hi there,

I would recommend calling the self-determined major subcommittee chair, Professor Giuseppe Faustini either by phone (518-580-5206) or e-mail at gfaustin@skidmore.edu.

The question of giving out the student proposal is a question of privacy. The majors are self-determined so they vary by student-to-student, but Professor Faustini is happy to walk you through a proposal and answer any questions you may have.

Thanks for the question!
