The private four-year college in Elmira, New York, has historic roots: Literary great Mark Twain's original wooden study is a landmark on campus. Once a women's college, Elmira was the first college in the United States to offer women degrees that were equal in rigor to those granted by men's colleges. These days, students take a six-week session in the spring for internships or study abroad. The Tommy Hilfiger Fashion Business School merges business administration with fashion merchandising and marketing.
