No matter what your major, at Mount Holyoke you'll be challenged to question your assumptions and expand your knowledge of the world. In every department, you'll find courses exploring and analyzing issues that transcend national boundaries. You'll live and work in a highly diverse community: one in three students is an international citizen or identifies as African American, Asian American, Latina, Native American, or multiracial. You'll study a foreign language and take at least one multicultural perspectives course.

You'll benefit from the College's McCulloch Center for Global Initiatives, which brings a Carol Hoffmann Collins global scholar-in-residence to campus each year. The center also organizes major conferences on global issues, provides support for international students, and coordinates Mount Holyoke's abundant opportunities for study abroad, international internships, and research abroad. (Last year, 97 percent of qualified applicants received aid from the College for study abroad.)

In the classroom and beyond, Mount Holyoke students, faculty, and alumnae are actively engaged with global issues.
