Academics

You think differently. And so do we.

There’s only one Hanover College and our approach to higher education is different from most. We offer a holistic approach to education so you get a lifetime of return on your investment. By learning how to think – not what to think – Hanover prepares you to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Mastering the content in your courses is important, but we think that education should expand your intellectual engine, equip you to learn for a lifetime, challenge your preconceived notions and give you a constructive framework to positively question the status quo.

Major Decision. Major Flexibility.

As if choosing a school isn’t already daunting enough, then you have to choose a major. At Hanover, we understand that is a big decision and we don’t take it lightly. And, we don’t want to pigeonhole you either. That’s why there is maximum flexibility built into our majors and how they work. You can even design your own major.

Academic Resources

At Hanover, learning is not a solitary activity – it is a cooperative venture. We have many people and resources available to help you through your educational journey. Each student works with a faculty advisor that will meet with you regularly to help you reach your ambitions.

For major, career and graduate school counseling, the Levett Career Center has a myriad of resources at your disposal, even after you graduate.

For research and study assistance, we offer our Duggan Library as well as the Gladish Center for Teaching and Learning, which offers academic tutoring, mentoring and coaching free to all Hanover students.

The Office of the Registrar facilitates class registration, transferring of credits and academic transcripts.

Faculty Research

Lifelong inquiry is a guiding principle for Hanover faculty and students alike, and our faculty model this, in large part, by remaining active students of, and contributors to, their disciplines.

99% of Hanover graduates were employed or continuing their education within 7 months of graduation.
