夏默学院通常简称夏默。是一所位于美国伊利诺伊州芝加哥的小型、私立、博雅教育类本科院校。1853年,弗朗西丝・伍德・夏默(Frances Wood Shimer)于伊利诺伊州芒特卡罗尔市的边陲城镇创建了该院,初期100年内的大部分时间一直是一所女子学院。1896年,学院并入芝加哥大学,并于1907年成为美国首批初级学院之一;1950年,学院发展成男女混校的四年制学院,取名“夏默学院”,并在芝加哥大学实施名着和苏格拉底研讨会的哈钦斯计划;1958年,学院脱离了与芝加哥大学的关系,成为一所独立学院。1960年代,学院获得国家承认且发展势头强劲,但1978年因资金问题而不得不舍弃原有校园,迁至芝加哥郊区的沃基根,直至2006年;之后,校园迁入芝加哥道格拉斯区,于布朗兹维勒街区(Bronzeville neighborhood)的伊利诺伊科技学院(IIT)校园内落址。
夏默学生专注于小型讨论会,他们讨论原始素材胜过读课本。学院的核心课程包括人文科学、社会科学、自然科学和综合研究,这一系列课程占据了学历教育三分之二的比重。1963年起,夏默提供留学英国牛津大学的课程;1981年起,为在职成人提供周末课程。学院在招生方面,主要根据申请者的论文水平对他们的学术潜质做出评估。夏默对学生的考试成绩不作要求,不设定及格分数线。自1950年起,学院实施入学预科制度,允许尚未毕业的高中生开始大学低年级的课程学习。在美国的博雅类大学中,夏默博士毕业生的比例最高。全院有50%的本科毕业会继续研究生阶段的学习,20%的学生会完成博士学位。
夏默学院一直驻留在由路德维格・迈尔斯・凡德罗(Ludwig Mies van der Rohe)设计的伊利诺伊科技学院主校区内,学院建筑于2005年被编入美国国家史迹名录。夏默学生保持自己固有的校园生活传统,但也会融入科技学院的学生生活。学院施行广泛的民主自治管理,此模式被外界描述为“高校之罕见”。1977年起, 学院的内部管理由教师、职员和学生组成的一个委员会和一个被称为“大会”的公平评价机构来实施。2009年,夏默有在校生104名;毕业生成就卓着,有诗人、作家、政论家、现实派艺术家和顶尖的计算机人才。
