Learn More About College Coach There are over 4,000 colleges and universities in the U.S. And while the media tends to focus on just a handful of schools, we at College Coach encourage students to think outside the box during their college selection process and explore a wide range of colleges, including this week’s School Spotlight, Hampden-Sydney College. So we’ve all heard about women’s colleges, but what about colleges that cater to only male learners? There are just a handful of traditional men’s colleges left in the U.S., and Hampden-Sydney College is one of our country’s oldest. H-SC has been educating “good men and good citizens” men since 1775, and the College’s student-run honor system continues to play an integral role in day-to-day campus life today. The nearly 1,100 men who attend H-SC come from over 30 states (with the vast majority hailing from Virginia), and they can choose from a broad array of traditional liberal arts and science majors. Economics & Business is the most popular course of study, but preparation for a successful career doesn’t end in the classroom. Thanks to the Flemming Center for Entrepreneurship and the College’s venture fund, students can attend business leader lectures; pitch venture ideas to investors; and learn firsthand about social entrepreneurship. One of the major benefits of attending an all-male school is the opportunity for tremendous leadership development and growth. From athletics and student government to clubs and Greek life, there are countless ways for H-SC students to make a difference in their communities.
