校园占地面积890英亩,景色优美,其中占地300英亩的北方森林可供师生休闲及进行田野研究。学校对一些科学、运动、餐饮和住宿设施进行了关键的革新升级。斯基德莫尔新的校园建筑赞克尔音乐中心(Zankel Music Center)于2010年开放,占地54000平方英尺,包含一个可容纳600人豪华演奏厅和一间最先进的录音棚。另外,为高年级学生修建2007年开放使用的北方森林公寓,因採用了地热能供热和製冷系统,被称为"绿色"公寓。唐氏教学博物馆暨美术馆(Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery)于2000年对外开放,其中的展览既具有现代艺术特徵,又反映了自然科学和社会科学等学科问题,因此享誉全国。

学院介绍
什幺是文理学院?
在美国的高等教育中,高等学校分两种:综合大学(University)及文理学院(Liberal Arts College)。美国的文理学院和综合性大学的本质区别在于:综合大学更加重视研究和职业化教育,大多提供本科和本科以上的教育,大部分都有研究院并且提供工科、医科、商科学位。而文理学院重视通才教育,即不仅仅以学生在某一职业领域获得职业技能为目标,认为知识对学生人格,素养的培育也非常重要,所以文理学院的学生不管修习什幺专业,都必须要上人文科学,社会科学,自然科学和艺术等多方面的课程来提升综合修养。文理学院大部分只提供本科教育,一般不设工程,商学和医学的专门专业,其毕业生毕业时只可获得文科,理科或艺术的学士学位。学生若要继续深造,则需申请综合性大学的各个研究院,值得强调的是,由于文理学院优质的本科教育,其学生的研究生录取率远远高于综合性大学。
