Founded in 1850, Hiram College is a liberal arts college with a proud heritage of educational innovation and excellence. Hiram was established in the mid-nineteenth century as a preparatory institution of high grade called the Western Reserve Eclectic Institute. The Institute was founded by the Disciples of Christ and located in Hiram, Ohio, because the founders believed this area of the Western Reserve to be “healthful and free of distractions.” Since the College’s first days, it has been nonsectarian and coeducational, and throughout its existence it has sustained this egalitarian tradition of educating men and women from diverse backgrounds. The institute’s original charter was authorized by the state legislature on March 1, 1850, and modified in 1867 to recognize the institution’s new collegiate rank when it became Hiram College.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
I like Hiram College and i came from a small high school and the small (tiny?) campus was appropriate for me. I found the professors and other staff to be positive, friendly and supportive in one's efforts to better one's self. The small classes lent themselves to more participation, critical thinking and analysis, but did not make it easy to skip class or fall asleep. Professors there do not stay for the money, they are committed to learning, exploration and teaching. I recommend it for someone who doesn't need wild, dancing parties every night...but even if you don't, you may be ready to head on out to the real world after four years, which, if you think about it, is the way it should be.

I love Hiram College. I couldn't imagine going to school anywhere else. It is so personal and open. Everyone is welcoming and you instantly feel like family. It's true that the campus is small and the closest Wal-Mart is 20 mins away, but there is always something to do on campus as long as you get involved.
