A place to belong.

A person to become.

As Indiana’s oldest private institution, established in 1827, Hanover College has higher education down to a (liberal arts and) science. For nearly 200 years, our graduates have discovered their passions through our wide variety of opportunities, from academics to athletics and social life to study abroad. That’s one of the best things about the liberal arts – you’ll choose from our 34 majors – but you’ll never be limited to just one thing! Experience and exploration are mandatory, and it sets our alumni apart. No wonder 99% of our students are working or continuing their education within 7 months of graduation.

CADAVER LAB If you’ve got a weak stomach, stop reading now. Let’s talk bodies. At Hanover, you don’t learn anatomy from a book and you don’t have to wait until you’re in grad school to get hands-on with a cadaver. We’re the only school in the region that offers undergraduate access to a cadaver and an artificial patient simulator.

With the addition of our Doctorate of Physical Therapy program, our lab facilities are growing, too. Grab some gloves and a scalpel, class starts in 10.

DATA Dig into the data. At Hanover, research means hours in the lab, international travel and presenting at professional conferences. Master this art, working one-on-one with our faculty, and you will add your name to the list of Hanoverians who have earned Boren, Fulbright and Goldwater scholarships to continue their research post-graduation. (And it looks great on a resume!)

ENVIRONMENT No other campus has 650 acres of woodlands, waterfalls and streams just outside your door. It’s one of the reasons Hanover has been named among the top 20 of the nation’s most beautiful campuses over and over again.
