3 Master's degrees offered by the university

The Graduate School of Classical Education from Hillsdale College, now offering two master’s degree programs, fills a pressing need in American education for teachers and administrators who have a deep understanding of the principles and practices of classical education—a sound, time-tested course of study that leads students toward intellectual, moral, and civic virtue.

The aim of the M.A. in Politics program at Hillsdale College is for students to develop a firm knowledge of the first principles of American constitutionalism and to understand the fate of those principles in American political development and contemporary American politics.

To extend its unique teaching mission to our nation’s leaders, Hillsdale College founded its Steve and Amy Van Andel Graduate School of Government in Washington, D.C. Students are educated in the first principles of politics and how they apply in practice to the perennial challenge of restoring constitutional self-government in the United States.
