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 36 majors – but you’ll never be limited to just one thing! Experience and exploration are mandatory, and it sets our alumni apart. No wonder more than 90% of our students are working or continuing their education within 7 months of graduation. Plus, 100% of Hanover international graduates applying for OPT have been granted and found eligible employment since 2020. Concentrations are listed under MAJORS.
