Collegegraduation010

About 33.1 percent of the 293 degrees and certificates handed out by Hampshire College in 2017-18 were to students in visual and performing arts programs, making them the most popular programs that year, according to the latest disclosure from the U.S. Department of Education.

The agency's National Center for Education Statistics shows the private not-for-profit institution in Amherst conferred 97 bachelor's degrees in visual and performing arts programs.

But the single most popular program was for a bachelor's degree in "other" fine arts and art studies. Data shows the school gave out 34 bachelor's degrees in "other" fine arts and art studies, followed by 20 bachelor's degrees in "other" film/video and photographic arts and 19 bachelor's degrees in general biology/biological sciences.

The college enrolled 1,191 students for 2017-18, all of whom were enrolled in undergraduate programs.
