Overview
Hiram College is an open admission private four-year institution in Hiram, Ohio. The school accepts most applicants who complete the application process.
Admission Guide
Hiram College accepts applications through the Common Application with a priority deadline of February 15, though you can apply later with rolling admissions. You'll need to submit your high school transcript, one letter of recommendation, and a personal statement. The college is test-optional, so SAT or ACT scores are not required.
The nursing program requires separate application materials and has more competitive admission standards than the general college admission process. You'll need to complete prerequisite courses and maintain higher academic standards to gain entry into nursing coursework after your first year.
Housing applications open in March for admitted students, and you should submit yours early since the campus only has space for about 600 students in residence halls. First-year students are required to live on campus unless they live within commuting distance.
Hiram operates on a unique academic calendar with a three-week intensive term called "Hiram Days" each May. During this period, you take just one course and can participate in study abroad programs, internships, or specialized research projects. This term is built into your four-year plan and tuition.
The college offers merit scholarships automatically based on your academic record, with awards ranging from partial to full tuition. You don't need to submit separate scholarship applications for most institutional aid. Complete your FAFSA early to maximize your financial aid package.
New student orientation happens the week before classes begin in late August. You'll register for courses during orientation, so come prepared with ideas about your academic interests and potential major.
