BA Book Studies Concentration

3 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

Smith College

Program Overview

The Concentration in Book Studies connects students with the exceptional resources of the Mortimer Rare Book Room and the wealth of book artists and craftspeople of the Pioneer Valley. Book studies is fueled by the intellectual energy and excitement released when a student's reading and classroom study collide with hands-on work in fields such as book design, bookbinding, paper and printmaking, publishing, printing, libraries and special collections. Students in this concentration learn to read in a new way; each book becomes an archaeological site for exploring the history of its design, production, promotion and dissemination, as well as the sources of its craftsmanship and beauty.
