Smith describes its open curriculum: apart from a writing-intensive course and the major, students may choose courses in any discipline with advising support.
The Registrar sets a 128-credit minimum, completion of a major, first-year writing-intensive course, GPA and residence requirements for the undergraduate degree.
The Smith Registrar describes major declaration, second major, minor, Five College certificate and concentration options, plus the BA 64-credit rule outside the major.
The Course Registration page describes Five College course eligibility, limits, approval, credit handling and the expectation that traditional students average 16 credits per semester to graduate on time.
The official NCES College Navigator page for Smith College, IPEDS ID 167835, reports a student population of 2,857, including 2,549 undergraduate students.
Awards offered list bachelor's degree, postbaccalaureate certificate, master's degree and doctor's degree, with no associate degree or undergraduate certificate; therefore the undergraduate count is recorded as bachelor enrollment.
