Decades before there was a Five College Consortium administrative leaders and faculty members of Amherst, Mount Holyoke and Smith Colleges and what would become the University of Massachusetts began working to accomplish together things they couldn’t do as well individually: enhanced offerings, new programs and reduced costs. Hampshire College joined this collaboration after its founding in 1966. For over 100 years the campuses have nurtured, changed and strengthened their collaborations, making the consortium one of the most extensive in the country, bringing together people and resources to address a broad spectrum of campus needs. Among the current collaborations are the following: Academic Coordinated academic calendars Accessible curricular offerings through free cross-registration Integrated schedule of course offerings each semester Joint academic programs: departments, majors and certificates Shared and borrowed faculty members Coordinated language programs and enhanced Introduction language offerings Shared faculty seminars and lectures Coordinated innovations in teaching and learning in digital humanities, blended learning, language pedagogy Administrative Library: integrated catalog, joint subscriptions, and a repository collection High-speed fiber-optic network Intercampus transportation Compliance and risk management Shared insurance Emergency planning and coordination IT resource accessibility Integrated employee directory The following pages offer insights into these collaborations and others, to give you a sense of what our campuses have accomplished through the consortium and the value they have received from it.
