Expect Opportunity
Hamilton was founded more than two centuries ago as a school of opportunity, and never has that commitment been stronger than it is today.
At Hamilton, opportunity isn’t just a possibility – it’s a promise.
Whether you’re pursuing academic excellence, charting your career path, or forging lifelong connections, you will find endless opportunities to grow, learn, and succeed.
Here are just a few examples of what you’ll find at Hamilton.
Our faculty are deeply invested in your success, offering personalized attention, mentorship, and opportunities for collaborative research and intellectual exploration. And don’t be surprised to see them at your concert, basketball game, or fundraiser.
ALEX (Advise, Learn, EXperience)
Hamilton’s coordinated network of on-campus academic centers, resources, and advisors will help you explore our open curriculum and map out a plan that incorporates academic success, career preparation, experiential learning (think research, fellowships, civic engagement, and study abroad), and personal growth.
A Wealth of Career Resources and Support
From internship placements to résumé-building workshops to pre-graduate school advising, Hamilton's Career Center ensures that you’re well prepared for life after graduation. (We even assign you a career coach before you start classes!)
A Passionate & Engaged Alumni Network
Alumni are eager to support and mentor the next generation of leaders, and many visit campus each year to connect with students. Our alumni community spans industries and continents, and offers invaluable connections and insights to help you succeed in your work and life.
From state-of-the-art facilities to historic buildings and lush green spaces, expect to be inspired by your surroundings every day.
In addition to our generous Financial Aid Promise, once you arrive on campus you’ll be provided with the advising support and stipends to pursue research or creative work, internships, community partnerships, and other opportunities you never even imagined.
Our Financial Aid Promise: Everyone Benefits
Many colleges and universities in the country can either meet
full demonstrated need of their applicants or admit the most
qualified students regardless of their need. We do both.
The educational environment you choose is incredibly
important. Because Hamilton invites the most talented and
deserving students to join our community, and then awards
them the financial resources to flourish, our classrooms, labs,
studios, playing fields, and residence halls are filled with the
brightest minds. Being exposed to the different perspectives
that make up our campus will enrich your experience and
help you fulfill Hamilton’s motto to “know thyself.”
After Hamilton
Membership in the Hamilton community lasts a lifetime.
Our graduates remain exceptionally loyal and passionate supporters of their College and the students who have taken their place on College Hill. They show it through generous contributions, of course, but alumni also provide our students with internships, job-shadowing experiences, and other forms of career advice. They visit campus regularly to recruit and speak in classes. And when you graduate and start your post-college life in a new city, Hamilton’s 24,000 alumni are there again to help you get started.
