Highlights:
Hamilton's Curriculum-Unlimited possibilities
Hamilton students have the freedom — and responsibility — to chart their own course of study with the guidance and support of faculty mentors. From their first introductory class to the culminating Senior Program, students are challenged to identify, analyze and articulate critical issues.
Nearly every college in America has some form of core curriculum or distribution requirements. Hamilton does not. They believe that highly motivated students learn more and better when they are enrolled in courses that genuinely interest them. They trust students to explore the breadth of the curriculum not because they are required to do so, but instead because they possess a true desire to learn.
Undergraduate research
Through independent projects, the Senior Program, and summer internships with faculty, Hamilton provides an increasing number of opportunities for students to engage in significant -- often publishable -- research at the undergraduate level.
