Hillsdale College
Founded in 1844, Hillsdale College is a private, classical liberal arts college with more than 1,500 students representing nearly every state in the country. Located on a picturesque 400-acre campus, it is nationally known for its principled refusal of federal or state subsidies and for its rigorous curriculum rooted in the enduring truths of the Western tradition.
On campus, students are offered Division II varsity sports, club and intramural athletics, choral and instrumental music, theater, dance, Greek life, spiritual life, student government, and numerous clubs and honorary societies.
Hillsdale prepares students for their future as they all sign an Honor Code that challenges them to live honorably with the goal of rising to self-government in the deepest sense. Students see results of their education as graduates are placed at a rate of 98% within six months of graduation. U.S. News & World Report reinforces the reputation of Hillsdale College by recognizing it as being “Among the Best Liberal Arts Colleges in the Nation.”
