isn’t for
everyone.
It’s not for the faint-hearted or for those who want a traditional education.
Hildegard is for the bold. We’re for young adults who don’t shy away from difficult questions and real world challenges. We’re a new kind of college — ambitious, tight-knit, and committed to seeking what is true and beautiful. Our foundation in the Christian liberal arts empowers us to engage culture with confidence in our faith and in our calling as creators and critical thinkers. At Hildegard, you won’t find large impersonal lectures and busy work. Instead, you’ll be invited to contribute to the great conversation of seekers and culture makers.
This program isn’t for everyone.
But if you’re willing to uncover your purpose, we’ll ignite your potential.
