Since 1850, Heidelberg University has been a student-centered, welcoming community, committed to student opportunity and educational value. Our community promotes and nurtures intellectual and professional development through inclusiveness and integrated curricular and co-curriculars.
HU offers a challenging liberal arts education with practical career preparation. We provide big opportunities and life advantages to our nearly 1,100 students through such innovative initiatives as a Fixed Tuition Guarantee. a Four-Year Graduation Guarantee, HYPE Career Ready® and Placement experiential learning and internships, the PlusOneAdvantage® MBA Scholarship, and Open Transfer. Our students choose from 31 undergraduate majors, three graduate programs, and graduate-level endorsements as they prepare to navigate the challenges of life and impact the world in meaningful ways.
Heidelberg is propelled by our Strategic Growth Action Plan, which charts a vision for the University over the next 5-10 years. We strive to continue to build on recent momentum, including $54 million invested in campus construction and renovation projects since 2010 and the $77 million Academic Comprehensive Campaign for Excellence, the largest and most successful fundraising campaign in our history. Our strategic plan is strengthening us by investing in and creating new levels of opportunity for our current and future students. Since 2009, Heidelberg has been led by Dr. Robert H. Huntington, the university’s 14th president.
