Hillsdale has preserved its unalloyed dedication to the Judeo-Christian and Greco-Roman tradition by remaining independent of any state or federal funding. Widespread private support from a national leadership audience provides for competitive financial aid and scholarship programs as well as numerous faculty chairs and state-of-the-art facilities. The small undergraduate population of 1,300 is roughly half women and half men. Students arrive from 48 states and 10 countries other than the U.S., though just over a third of attendees are Michigan residents. The class of 2007 entered Hillsdale with an average high school GPA of 3.72 along with strong SAT or ACT scores falling near the 90th percentile nationwide. High student satisfaction levels are shown in the fact that 90 percent of the freshman class returns for their second year. Most students (70 percent) complete their degree in four years, and 74 percent are finished after five years. Students live in single-sex dormitories staffed by a resident director and upperclassmen. All first-year students who are not commuting must live on campus. Students may choose from 33 different majors, culminating in either a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree. Study abroad programs in England, France, Spain, and Germany are available and encouraged. Representative campus activities include NCAA Division II athletics, intramurals, Greek life, theater and music groups, student publications (including a weekly newspaper, yearbook, and literary magazine) and student government. Convinced that it is the best preparation for meeting the challenges of modern life, Hillsdale maintains its defense of the traditional liberal arts curriculum. The College's refusal to accept state or federal funding allows for the preservation of an authentic liberal arts education that is dedicated to stimulating students' intellectual curiosity, to encouraging the critical, well-disciplined mind, and to fostering personal growth through academic challenge and civic responsibility.
