斯基德莫尔学院(Skidmore College)创办于1903年,是一所位于美国纽约州萨拉托加温泉镇,拥有百年历史的顶尖私立文理学院。学校的英语科系,艺术科系和医学院预科在文理学院中数一数二。该校于2016年《美国新闻与世界报道》排名全美文理学院第38位。
斯基德莫尔学院拥有多元化的学生群体,校园中的 2400
多名学生分别来自美国的 50 余个州和世界上 50 余个国家。学校拥有教师学者 240 人,师生比例为 1:9。学院设有约50
个专业,其中有自然科学、社会科学和人类学等基础专业,也有管理与商务、社会工作、教育和运动学以具体职业为导向的专业领域。此外,学院知名的表演和视觉艺术专业遥遥领先于其他学院。任教于学院的老师有古根海姆奖、普利策奖及艾美奖的获奖者,还有许多老师享受着来自富布莱特奖学金、麦克阿瑟基金会和美国国家科学基金会的奖学金或津贴。斯基德莫尔学院于2006年被列为全美25所”新常春藤“名校之一。
斯基德莫尔以其跨学科的学习方法、师生协作研究和校外学习项目(近 60% 的学生在海外学习)而著称。涵盖第一学年课程、辅助课程和居住等方面内容的新生体验让学生可以从入学伊始就开始熟悉学院严谨的学术规程。学院提供50 余个斯克里布纳讨论组 (Scribner Seminar)供新生选择。在新生选定专业之前,讨论组老师会认真负责地为他们提供建议和指导。同一讨论组中的学生会被就近安排到学生宿舍中,以形成联系更紧密的学习生活社区,促进持久友谊的培养。学院课程重视文科基础和跨学科学习,而这一措施正体现了这种重视。
我们的很多学生选择了两个主修专业或在主修专业之外选择了辅修专业。学院提供了 140 多项海外学习项目供学生选择,其中包括北京/上海、伦敦、巴黎、和阿尔卡拉/马德里的斯基德莫尔项目。而通过全国交换生项目,他们还可以在美国 200 余所学院和大学中的任选一所进行为期一个学期的学习,这包括了那些曾经专为非裔和西班牙裔学生提供教育的研究和教育机构。斯基德莫尔的伯里克利荣誉论坛是其另一项学术特色,该论坛负责主办年度学术节、学分实习和服务性学习课程等活动。
