Five Colleges, Incorporated is a nonprofit educational consortium in the higher education sector, established in 1965 to advance shared educational and cultural objectives across its member institutions. Its members include four private liberal arts colleges and the Amherst campus of the state university, a configuration that grew from a 1950s collaboration among Amherst College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst and which led to the creation of Hampshire College in 1970. Based in Amherst, Massachusetts, the organization coordinates cross-institution programs and shared resources to support collaboration among its campuses. As a mid-sized nonprofit, it serves as a coordinating body that fosters joint initiatives across its member institutions.
