About Hillsdale College

Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women โ€œgrateful to God for the inestimable blessingsโ€ resulting from civil and religious liberty and โ€œbelieving that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.โ€ It pursues the stated object of the founders: โ€œto furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological educationโ€ outstanding among American colleges โ€œand to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.โ€ As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains โ€œby precept and exampleโ€ the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.

The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
