校園占地面積890英畝,景色優美,其中占地300英畝的北方森林可供師生休閒及進行田野研究。學校對一些科學、運動、餐飲和住宿設施進行了關鍵的革新升級。斯基德莫爾新的校園建築贊克爾音樂中心(Zankel Music Center)於2010年開放,占地54000平方英尺,包含一個可容納600人豪華演奏廳和一間最先進的錄音棚。另外,為高年級學生修建2007年開放使用的北方森林公寓,因採用了地熱能供熱和製冷系統,被稱為"綠色"公寓。唐氏教學博物館暨美術館(Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery)於2000年對外開放,其中的展覽既具有現代藝術特徵,又反映了自然科學和社會科學等學科問題,因此享譽全國。

學院介紹
什麼是文理學院?
在美國的高等教育中,高等學校分兩種:綜合大學(University)及文理學院(Liberal Arts College)。美國的文理學院和綜合性大學的本質區別在於:綜合大學更加重視研究和職業化教育,大多提供本科和本科以上的教育,大部分都有研究院並且提供工科、醫科、商科學位。而文理學院重視通才教育,即不僅僅以學生在某一職業領域獲得職業技能為目標,認為知識對學生人格,素養的培育也非常重要,所以文理學院的學生不管修習什麼專業,都必須要上人文科學,社會科學,自然科學和藝術等多方面的課程來提升綜合修養。文理學院大部分只提供本科教育,一般不設工程,商學和醫學的專門專業,其畢業生畢業時只可獲得文科,理科或藝術的學士學位。學生若要繼續深造,則需申請綜合性大學的各個研究院,值得強調的是,由於文理學院優質的本科教育,其學生的研究生錄取率遠遠高於綜合性大學。
