Economics & Psychology
Hampden-Sydney lets you do what you want to do. I play baseball, work at the Writing Center, and enjoy the other sports through the Tiger Athletic Committee.
The plaque on our front gate says it all:
"Come here as youths so that you may leave as men."
HUC VENITE IUVENES UT EXEATIS VIRI
The best education is not just about what you know; it's about how you live.
Only a handful of colleges and universities are known for producing people of strong character. Among them, Hampden-Sydney College is unique. Yes, our men are served well by a two-hundred thirty-year-old honor code, but they also learn to face the ethical challenges of the twenty-first century with confidence and clarity.
At Hampden-Sydney, we begin with the proposition that our men are obligated to lead not just successful careers, but successful lives. They learn how to do that in a lively setting, championed by a faculty devoted to producing not only smart men, but good men. They learn it in the clear, unrefracted light of male comradeship.
This is a unique education. It's not just about learning; it's about living.
