There’s nothing like waking up to a beautiful campus right on the shore of Lake Massasoit. Undergraduates live on campus for their first three years. Learn more about housing costs and what you should bring come move-in day.

Just down the road is East Campus, a part of Springfield College accessible to all students that includes 82 acres of forest ecosystem, a mile of lake shoreline, canoes, a challenge course, and a chance to reconnect with nature.

With a history that dates back to 1885, we’re proud of our ability to honor our past while embracing the modern to give our students the best possible experience. You’ll notice a conscious effort on our campus to not lose sight of our historic roots. For example, how many Gulick Triangles can you spot during a tour?

Did you know that James Naismith created basketball at Springfield College when he was an instructor and graduate student in 1891? When visiting the campus, don’t forget to take a picture with James (like Grant Hill did), located on Naismith Green, and tag us in your Instagram photos: @springfieldcollege.

We’re big on traditions at Springfield College: emblems, ceremonies, rituals— we’ve got them all. Your first day as a new student, you’ll receive your beanie, which, our alumni will attest, you are pretty much destined to keep for the rest of your life. And don’t forget Stepping Up Day, Sti-Yu-Ka, and so much more.

Perhaps the best tradition of them all is our College’s guiding mission: Humanics. The Humanics philosophy calls for the education of the whole person— in spirit, mind, and body— for leadership in service to others. Everything we do, from academics to athletics, is infused with this belief.

Want to learn more about our history and traditions? Located on campus, our Springfield College Museum holds the stories of our long and fascinating history, dating back to our founding in 1885. You can also view our digital exhibits online.

Hands-on experience is a key part of our academics, and many majors find opportunities to pursue fieldwork right here on campus. For example, journalism majors might find themselves writing for the Springfield Student newspaper, athletic counseling students work with their peers to hone their skills in the field, and health science students can work side-by-side with clinicians the LIVE EVERY DAY clinic located on site.
