Hillsdale College is a private, conservative,[4][5] Christian[6][7][8] liberal arts college in Hillsdale, Michigan, United States. It was founded in 1844 by members of the Free Will Baptists.[9] Women were admitted to the college in 1844, making the college the fifth-oldest coeducational institution in the United States. Hillsdale's required core curriculum includes courses on the Great Books, the U.S. Constitution, biology, chemistry, and physics.[4]
Since the late 20th century, in order to opt out of government mandates tied to funding, Hillsdale has declined both state and federal financial support. Instead, Hillsdale depends entirely on private donations to supplement students' tuition.[4][10][11]
Hillsdale no longer has any denominational affiliation but, according to its website, "the moral tenets of Christianity as commonly understood in the Christian tradition have been essential to the mission of the College".[7]
