Profile

Williams College is a small private liberal arts college located in Williamstown, Massachusetts. As of 2004, the undergraduate enrollment was approximately 2,000 students. Fraternities were phased out beginning in 1962. Coeducation was adopted in 1970. There are three academic curricular divisions (humanities, sciences, social sciences), 24 departments, 31 majors, and small masters programs in art history and development economics. The student:faculty ratio is 8:1. The academic year consists of two four-course semesters plus a one-course January term. Williamstown is located in the Berkshires in northwestern Massachusetts, 145 miles from Boston and 165 miles from New York City. The College sits at the foot of Mount Greylock. When Henry David Thoreau visited 1844, he remarked that "It would be no small advantage if every college were thus located at the base of a mountain."
