You think differently. And so do we.
We believe you should get a greater return on your investment than simply learning accounting basics, mastering the periodic table or knowing the circulatory system. Yes, those are important, but we think that education should expand your intellectual engine, tickle your emotions and give you a constructive framework to positively question the status quo. We think your education should propel you forward into action for making the world a better place.
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 major 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.

Liberal arts in action
While working towards your degree, our liberal arts education provides you with the opportunity to experience a wide variety of topics. Liberal arts students develop critical thinking, problem solving and top-notch communication skills, which are the skills employers value most – even more than a specific major.
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.
"Hanover is a beautiful environment, and it’s a place where beautiful minds thrive. I can honestly say that I’ve learned a lot about myself during my undergraduate career, and I’m confident in the person I have become."
Savanna Wofford '14
