Welcome to Hillsdale College
An
independent, four-year college in south-central
Michigan, Hillsdale College offers the rigorous and
lively academic experience one expects of a tier-one liberal arts
college, and it stands out for its commitment to the enduring
principles of the Western tradition. Its core curriculum embodies
this commitment through required courses in disciplines such
as history, literature, science and political science in order to
develop in students the “philosophical habit of mind” essential to
sound education. Likewise, majors at Hillsdale are a rigorous and
searching extension of these commitments. Ranging from classics
or music to chemistry or business, academic fields of concentration
build upon the core curriculum, deepening and specifying
students’ appreciation for and understanding of the liberal arts.
Hillsdale College is dedicated to intellectual inquiry and to
learning, and it recognizes essential human dignity. Ordered
liberty, personal responsibility, limited government, free enterprise
and man’s moral, intellectual and spiritual nature illuminate this
dignity and identify the service of the College to its students, the
nation and the Western intellectual and religious tradition.
Far-ranging by design and incisive by method, study at
Hillsdale College is intellectually demanding. Students work
closely with faculty who guide them in their studies, helping
students to prepare for a lifetime of accomplishment, leadership
and learning. For more information about Hillsdale College or
