| About this School |
| Springfield College is a college located in Springfield, Massachusetts. It is located upon Watershops Pond, approximately one mile from downtown. There are two main sections to the campus, though not connected, and eight sites around the United States that offer courses, especially in the School of Human Services. Springfield College was first located on the second floor of the Armory Hill YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts as the International Young Men's Christian Training School. Just a few years after opening its doors to the first eighteen students in 1885, Springfield College could boast an international reputation as a pioneer in teaching and scholarship related to physical education, sports medicine, physical therapy, physiology of exercise, biomechanics, wellness, and the training of YMCA executives. Today, Springfield College's undergraduate and graduate student body numbers more than 5,000.

| History |
|
Springfield College originated as a training school for YMCA professionals. Springfield College's 36,000 alumni work in 60 nations. Alumni have served in various capacities, such as a university president in China, initiators of the Olympic movement in Eastern European countries, and educational leaders in Central and South America. They have started shelters for the homeless in rural Vermont, and have changed the field of sports medicine. Wherever they work or live, Springfield College alumni become vital links in a human chain that makes a difference in the quality of people's lives and leads to impressive achievements.
The mission of Springfield College is to educate students in spirit, mind, and body for eadership in service to humanity by building upon a foundation of Humanics and academic excellence.
Founded in 1885, Springfield College is a private, coeducational institution that emphasizes the education of leaders for the allied health sciences, human and social services, sports movement activities, and the arts and sciences. Undergraduate and graduate programs reflect its distinctive Humanics philosophy—education of the whole person in spirit, mind, and body for leadership in service to others.
It is world renowned as the Birthplace of Basketball, a game created by alumnus and faculty member James Naismith in 1891; and as the alma mater of William G. Morgan, inventor of the game of volleyball; as well as for its long-standing and close relationship with the YMCA.
In 2006 and 2007, the school will host the NCAA Division III Women's Basketball Final Four.
