A private four-year institution in the Catholic, Franciscan tradition, Hilbert encourages personal and organizational change through vision and hope, and creates a meaningful, unique undergraduate educational experience based in the liberal arts. Hilbert's challenging academic programs are taught by professors who bring in-depth theoretical and practical experience to the classroom, which is balanced with outstanding student internship opportunities. New academic concentrations have been added in family violence, forensic investigation, rehabilitation services, and sports management. Known for its law and justice programs, Hilbert's new economic crime investigation lab is one of only a few computer crime and forensic training labs for undergraduates in the country to give students hands-on training in the field. |
