Our stunning natural campus is just an easy drive from one of 3 major metropolitan areas- Indianapolis, Indiana; Louisville, Kentucky; or Cincinnati, Ohio. Our students can truly experience the best of all worlds. By combining our idyllic setting with your academic talents, passions, and any of our 34 majors (or one of your own design), you’ll find that Hanover College is a place to call home while being challenged to become your best self. Combine the breadth of study that the liberal arts curriculum provides with the depth of your major and hands-on learning through readily available internships and research.

Grow your resume and have fun through 70+ clubs and organizations like Love Out Loud, OWL (Outdoor Wilderness Leadership), Habitat for Humanity, or Interfaith Student Association.

REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingHanover is more than a college, it's a community. I've never felt so accepted and welcomed in such a great environment. I feel like I wouldn't be the same person without my liberal arts education I've received here.
Shana from Hanover, IN
Hanover has been the best choice I have ever made. It is a small college that is big on experience! Studying on this beautiful campus has been an honor for me.
Jennefer from Flat Rock, IN
Hanover College is not only a college but a place of growth and change. In my first year of Hanover I enhanced my intellectual abilities and I grew as an individual. Hanover is challenging but without the challenge it would be impossible to grow as a person.
Norah from Fairfield, OH
