At Hastings College you’ll become an expert in your field. Yet the value of a Hastings education goes well beyond that. By building your own personal plan through one-on-one mentoring, Hastings helps you graduate with a broad academic background and be mentally flexible, an excellent communicator, a creative thinker, able to manage and solve problems and answer the kinds of questions you can’t Google. These are exactly the skills employers and graduate schools want. Our success: 98% of recent grads are employed or continuing their education.
We recognize college is an investment. It’s why we work to make Hastings affordable, something that’s been recognized over the years by Barron’s, which named Hastings a “Best Buy in College Education”, Washington Monthly, which named us a "Bang for the Buck” school and MONEY, which said we're one of the 50 most affordable private colleges in the country. Last year our students received more than $18 million in scholarships and grants and every student received financial aid. So can you.
With about 1,200 students and more than 60 majors, Hastings College is the ideal size to give you the individual attention you appreciate and the education you need to succeed in a career and in life. Our superb faculty simply love to teach. And mentor. And share. They’re national-caliber professors who come from some of the finest graduate programs across the country. They’re smart, resourceful and since they don't need to oversee grad students, their sole focus is encouraging and supporting you.
Class is over. Studying is done. Now what? Hastings students are involved – in band, choir, art, theatre, athletics, clubs and student government. They’re volunteers in schools and churches, they deliver food to those in need, clean parks, coach youth teams and serve as mentors. With dozens of student organizations, sports teams, Greeks and academic societies, you’ll make new friends, discover new talents and own your future. Choose where you want to be involved and have fun!
