Hanover College

Hanover College is dedicated to creating a distinctive intellectual community within which students are challenged and nurtured to take responsibility for their learning and their lives and to develop their unique abilities to their highest levels.

Since its founding in 1827, Hanover College has been committed to providing a true liberal arts education. Hanover College offers 28 major areas of study as well as the opportunity for students to self-design their own major. Hanover also offers specialized Centers of Excellence including the Center for Business Preparation, the Center for Church Leadership, the Center for Free Inquiry, and the Rivers Institute.

Outside the classroom, students can participate in more than over 50 student organizations, 16 NCAA Division III varsity sports, an active fraternity and sorority Greek system, and intramural sports. Students also take advantage of being just outside historic Madison, Indiana, and close to Louisville (45 miles), Cincinnati (70 miles), and Indianapolis (95 miles).

Indiana's oldest private college, Hanover's 650-acre campus is home to approximately 1000 students from across the U.S. and abroad as well as the one-third of Hanover's faculty and staff living on the campus grounds. The College is one of The Princeton Review's Best 361 Colleges and a U.S. News & World Report top 100 national liberal arts college and top 50 "Best Value".
