Why Hillsdale?

Independence and Principles

Hillsdale was the first American college to prohibit by charter admissions discrimination based on race, sex, or religion. Standing on principle continues to define us. Hillsdale College is a small, Christian, classical liberal arts college in southern Michigan that operates independently of government funding.

Value and Affordability

Hillsdale costs significantly less than other nationally ranked, private liberal arts colleges-even though we refuse to accept even one penny of federal or state financial aid for student grants, loans, and scholarships. Hillsdale is consistently among the top colleges in “best value” rankings by The Princeton Review, Kiplinger’s, Forbes, and others. Thanks to the generosity of donors who share our principles of independence, integrity, and self-government, we can offer financial aid packages to 96 percent of our students, with an average aid package of $17,260.

Classical Liberal Arts

Why are the classical liberal arts relevant? Our world will change-what it means to be human will not. We ask our students to grapple with the timeless truths and enduring questions of the Western Tradition. For more than 170 years, Hillsdale College has promoted “the diffusion of sound learning” as the best means of preserving “the blessings of civil and religious liberty and intellectual piety.”

Community and Support

Becoming a Hillsdale student is a wonderful testimony to your child’s achievements and character. We’re grateful for all you’ve done, and invite you to keep playing an active part. Join our Parents Association, attend Parents Weekend, and read our Parents Newsletter. Our faculty prize having the time and freedom to give full due to big ideas (yours included). The connections you make here endure. The lessons you learn here prepare you to tackle challenges throughout your professional career. You’ve survived midterms, can quote The Nicomachean Ethics, given Mock Rock everything you’ve got, shared a lunch table with Dr. Arnn, and played Thatcherball. Yes, you are a full-fledged Hillsdalian.
