Hesston College
With plans in store for a
centennial celebration in 2009, Hesston College has a rich and
grounded history in the midwest. Founded by the Mennonite
Church, Hesston College is a two-year liberal arts college and
offers a unique blend of social, spiritual and academic life.
Hesston College offers two year programs in aviation, Bible,
business, computer information technology, disaster management,
early childhood education, nursing and pastoral ministries, as
well as over 40 programs available for transfer, and a
student-teacher ratio of 1-14 to help learning along.
Most would consider a smaller college synonymous with all things
rural: but Hesston College would be the ultimate exception to
this rule.
With a student population of 12 percent international students,
and 60 percent from states other than Kansas, multi-national and
multicultural diversity are a key factor in the school’s
excellence. Students have exceptional athletic facilities at
their disposal, and a quality sports program for both men and
women.
Leading-edge technology, a visionary academic plan, dedicated
faculty and staff plus optimal financial aid opportunities make
