| Mission | |
| School mission | Hanover College is a challenging and supportive community whose members take responsibility for lifelong inquiry, transformative learning and meaningful service. Hanover College students prepare for the future by embracing the present. Hanover's students receive personal attention from professors in a highly caring environment. The College's 9 to 1 student-faculty ratio and average class size of 12 students leads to interactive classes where students acquire the skills necessary for critical thinking and problem-solving; skills that are essential in today's rapidly changing world. Individualized attention allows faculty to support students becoming actively engaged in experiential learning. The College's commitment to experiential learning is supported through the availability of a tuition-free academic internship for any interested student. Project-based internships through the College's business program, the Center for Business Preparation, enable Hanover's students to apply their critical thinking and problem-solving skills and develop a record of actual accomplishment before they graduate. Additional internships through the Career Center, including semester-long programs in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., provide opportunities for every student to explore careers during their four years at Hanover. Nearly two-thirds of Hanover's students also take advantage of conducting research in partnership with a faculty mentor. Student research in the sciences provides important experience that prepares them for medical school, graduate school and careers in business. But student research extends beyond the sciences. In areas from philosophy and theology to art and theatre to communication and psychology, Hanover students research important issues. The Hanover Capstone on great issues of the day provides another opportunity for student research. The examination of Global Climate Change during 2007-2008 led to on-campus lectures by Jane Goodall, Jean-Michel Cousteau, Richard Leakey and Ed Begley, Jr. In addition to meeting these speakers, students in seminars wrote papers on a variety of aspects of global climate change with the best papers included in a journal published at the end of the year. Experience is also gained through the College's extensive study abroad program. From four-week spring term courses that travel to countries such as Ireland, South Africa, China, and Vietnam, to semester-long affiliated programs in Australia, Turkey, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain and Mexico, to summer research and internships in India, Thailand, Turkey and France, Hanover students regularly travel around the world. The Hanover experience extends beyond the classroom. Roughly one-third of Hanover's students participate in NCAA athletics. Students do not have to major in theatre and music to participate and be eligible for scholarships in those outstanding programs. Every one of the College's 66 student clubs and organizations, ranging from the campus newspaper to ultimate Frisbee, are established and run by students. The next new student club is the one you want to organize. All of this occurs on a beautiful campus located on bluffs overlooking the Ohio River. Located in southeastern Indiana, Hanover possesses rural charm while located in the middle of a triangle that includes the major cities of Louisville (45 minutes away), Cincinnati (75 minutes) and Indianapolis (90 minutes). At Hanover, students go beyond textbooks and exams. They embrace the future by experiencing it today. |
