Hillsdale College was founded as Michigan Central College in Spring Arbor, Michigan, in 1844. Nine years later it moved to Hillsdale and assumed its current name.

Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.”

Medical services
In 1993, millions of Americans made the acquaintance of Harry and Louise. The brainchild of the U.S. insurance industry, the fictional TV couple could be seen sitting at their kitchen table worrying about the bureaucracy and cost that would accompany the Clinton Administration’s healthcare plan, known as the Health Security Act.
Campus life
The lessons taught in Hillsdale classrooms—through critical thought, healthy discourse, and pursuing truth—come to life all over our vibrant campus in student clubs and activities.
Sports facilities
Located northwest of the Roche Sports Complex, the 76,000-square-foot Margot V. Biermann Athletic Center contains four acrylic tennis courts and a six-lane, 200-meter NCAA regulation track. The track features a Mondo surface—the same used in the 2012 London Olympic Games—and also holds the distinction of being the widest 200-meter track in the world.
The building also contains one long jump and one triple jump runway and pit, one permanent and one portable pole vault station, locker rooms, coaches’ offices, a mezzanine, and a training room.

By and large, I've had a great time at HCC
I have loved my time at Hillsborough Community College. I would recommend it to anyone living in this area that would like to go to school in person or remotely. I have gone mostly online and I have enjoyed it and learned a lot.
Supportive professors
Great college, professors and student support services. The accounting program was helpful in preparing me to learn the terms and the language of accounting. The professors that I had were helpful and taught in a way I could really understand the topic. Overall, I am very satisfied with the college.
