Academic Services at Hampden-Sydney College provide students with the assistance they need to achieve their academic goals and to be successful during their academic careers and beyond.
Academics
A foundation for success.
Hampden-Sydney College excels in teaching exceptional young men in the way they learn best: in small classes with one-on-one instruction and by doing rather than watching. Immersed in the liberal arts, every student is taught to reason effectively, think critically, and write persuasively.
A foundation for success.
Preparing men not just for rewarding careers, but for extraordinary lives.
You can choose from 27 majors and 26 minors toward a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree--that's 50+ majors, minors, and special programs to help you find your passions, gifts, and purpose.
Hands-on research allows Hampden-Sydney men to spend a significant part of their education outside the classroom working side by side with professors on real problems and gaining invaluable experience.
The cornerstone of Hampden-Sydney's academic experience, the Rhetoric Program offers a minor in Rhetoric and assures that every young man who graduates will know how to express himself clearly and confidently.
Hampden-Sydney College welcomes international students from around the world and offers study abroad and away opportunities for students with more than 100 programs in 30 countries.
Endless Academic Opportunities
Your learning opportunities extend well beyond the classroom
Your learning opportunities extend well beyond the classroom and even beyond the Hill, and may include internships, student research, study abroad, cooperative programs, or the honors program.
In addition to offering 50+ majors and minors toward a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree, Hampden-Sydney College has expanded learning opportunities on and off campus — and in and out of the classroom — to enrich the college experience for its graduates and prepare them for successful careers.
