Skidmore College is a private liberal arts college in Saratoga Springs, New York. Approximately 2,700 students are enrolled at Skidmore pursuing a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree in one of more than 60 areas of study.
The college originated from a women's industrial club that was founded by Lucy Skidmore Scribner in 1903[6] and chartered as a school in 1911.[7] In 1922 it grew into Skidmore College, a baccalaureate-degree-granting institution.[8] In the late 1960s, the college moved from downtown Saratoga Springs to a newly constructed campus on the city's northern border.[9] After a half-century as a women's college, Skidmore became coeducational in 1971.[10]
Skidmore's average class size is 16 students; 94% of classes have fewer than 30 students. The student body comes from 44 U.S. states and more than 60 countries.[11] About 90% of students live on campus.[11] The college has around 100 student clubs and organizations, including athletic teams, arts groups, an honor society, and community-service clubs.[12]
