Hillsdale College: What College Is Meant to Be

February 2, 2023 By Richard C. Young

UPDATE 10.26.22: Word is getting out about Hillsdale College. Students want to go to a school like Hillsdale, and the class of 2026 is the college’s most selective yet. Admittance rates were only 20%, meaning that a far greater number of students than Hillsdale can hold applied to study there. Hillsdale released a statement on the record:

“I think that word is getting out that Hillsdale College is a happy place,” said President Larry P. Arnn. “We study the best things here — things that give meaning and life — and students and professors pursue this study in friendship. That is why we are happy, and that is what students want.”

Preliminary statistics indicate students of the incoming class for the fall 2022 term boast an all-time high ACT average of 32 and an average high-school GPA of 3.94, tying last year’s admitted class for all-time high GPA.

“I think the most impressive thing about these numbers is that we don’t automatically accept the applicants with the highest test scores or GPAs,” Zachary Miller, senior director of admissions, said. “The Admissions Office interviews the vast majority of applicants to determine whether they are the type of student who could flourish here, both in mind and heart. Those are the people we admit.”

During the 2021-2022 school year, Hillsdale College’s student body consisted of about 1,515 undergraduate students from 49 states, the District of Columbia, and 14 foreign countries. Hillsdale offers 35 majors — the most popular being economics, English, financial management, history, politics, and seven pre-professional programs. Within six months of graduation, 92% of the class of 2021 were placed in destinations related to their career goals.

“If you want to pursue truth and grow in character, Hillsdale College is the place for you, and you are the student for us,” Miller said. “I encourage you to apply.”

“Hillsdale College doesn’t take any student loans from the federal government, that’s because the government can then come in and tell you what you can and cannot teach.” – Dr. Gary Wolfram, William Simon Professor of Economics and Public Policy, Director of Economics, Professor of Political Economy.

From the website of Hillsdale College:

This is what college is meant to be.

Think about the people you want to be around. Think about everything that’s the opposite of shallow and trendy. Think about four years of conversations you’ll never forget. That’s Hillsdale College. In and out of class, people here are on a journey together—one where intellectual enthusiasm is valued, friendships are genuine, and honest discourse is unflinching.

When you come to Hillsdale, you also become part of something bigger. For more than 170 years, Hillsdale has promoted “the diffusion of sound learning” as the best way to preserve the blessings of civil and religious liberty.

Elevating the civic conversation.

A more perfect union requires a more serious discourse. We believe an educated citizenry can be a powerful force for honoring, understanding, and defending America’s founding principles.

We invite you to learn with us. We offer summer study programs in the U.S. and Europe for high-school students, residency programs for journalists, travel and learning experiences for adult audiences, public forums held around the country—and that’s just a short list.
