Integrative Learning

Integrative learning connects theory to practice, and the classroom to the world. At Smith, students explore individual passions and develop innovative responses to society’s complex and interconnected challenges.

What does Integrative Learning at Smith look like?

Integrative learning spans disciplines and can happen within your major, minor, or concentration. It can take place through a workshop offered by one of our centers or initiatives, or during an internship or original research in our special collections. At Smith, you can collaborate with faculty and staff on independent and collaborative research and creative projects—with these resources, there are no limits on what you can learn, connect, and create.

Collections

Imagine a place where every form of human communication and storytelling exist; where world-renowned women's history collections make visible the historically marginalized; where your curiosity, discovery, and scholarship flourish. 

Welcome to Smith College Special Collections.
