Hiram Plan

The Hiram Plan is Hiram's innovative academic calendar. Academic semesters at Hiram are divided into two sessions: a 12-week, during which students take three academic courses, and a 3-week, when students focus on a single course of study. This format blends long-term learning with intensive research and study and creates opportunities for internships and experiential learning. Hiram students are thereby prepared for success in the professional workforce and graduate school.

Hands-on Learning

Founded in 1850, Hiram College offers students a distinctive liberal arts education with unmatched opportunities to participate in advanced research and learning projects. Classes at Hiram are small, averaging under 16 students per class, allowing students to interact closely with professors and peers. Whether your focus is in the arts, the sciences, or both, research work with faculty is a hallmark of a Hiram education.

Off-Campus & Overseas Study

Hiram offers one of the most extensive off-campus and overseas study programs in the nation. Because of the academic calendar, students have more opportunity to study abroad while fulfilling their academic course requirements. Hiram students travel to locations on six continents, often during the 3-week session, and study alongside their professors and peers.
