Five College Consortium

Not to be confused with the Claremont Colleges, a consortium in California often referred to as the 5Cs.
Clockwise from top: Amherst College, University of Massachusetts Amherst, Mount Holyoke College, Hampshire College, Smith College.

The Five College Consortium (often referred to as simply the Five Colleges) comprises four liberal arts colleges and one university in the Connecticut River Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts: Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst, totaling approximately 38,000 students.[1] They are geographically close to one another and are linked by frequent bus service that operates between the campuses during the school year.[2]

The consortium was formally established in 1965, but its roots lay in cooperative efforts between the oldest four members of the consortium dating back to 1914.[3]
