Founded in 1830, Spring Hill College has provided a robust liberal arts education in the Jesuit tradition for almost two centuries. Spring Hill College is the oldest Catholic college in the Southeast and the third oldest Jesuit college in the U.S.
Spring Hill's mission is to help students become leaders in service to others, fulfilling each individual's unique potential. As a result, our students are engaged, inspired, and transformed by their experiences.
Rooted in its Catholic heritage and continuing the centuries-old Jesuit tradition of educational excellence, Spring Hill College forms students to become responsible leaders in service to others.
We offer our students a thorough preparation for professional excellence. We strive to awaken mind and spirit to the pursuit of truth and the ever-deepening appreciation of the beauty of creation, the dignity of life, the demands of justice, and the mystery of God's love.
In our community of living and learning, we are committed to the Jesuit tradition of "Cura personalis," care for each person's spiritual, social, and intellectual growth. We promote solidarity with the entire human family through informed dialogue with the world's cultures, religions, and peoples. And true to the Catholic and Biblical tradition, we nurture both the personal and social dimensions of faith, seeking to draw our students into a deeper and more vital relationship with God.
Spring Hill College offers academic programs for undergraduate students, graduate students, and adult learners in the Jesuit, Catholic educational tradition. At Spring Hill College, the average class size is 17 students, and our student to faculty ratio is 14:1.
Through experiences both inside and outside of the classroom, our students are encouraged to actively explore their skills, talents, aspirations, and career potential. Internships, service, and networking opportunities complement this process and prepare them for the next step on their personal and career paths.
Spring Hill College offers 45+ undergraduate majors and areas of concentration for you to study alongside a Jesuit, liberal arts core curriculum designed to foster intellectual, moral, and spiritual growth as well as critical thinking skills.
During your time on The Hill, we encourage you to find your passion and follow your dreams. There are opportunities for you to create your internship program, hone your skills as a speaker and writer, make critical business connections, and gather a portfolio of real accomplishments. Within six months of graduation, 89.4% of our students report being employed or participating in graduate/professional training or service.
Each student is required to participate in the Senior Seminar before graduation. This capstone, upper-level course experience is designed to synthesize the student's entire program of studies and build a career or graduate study plan. The requirements for the Senior Seminar differ with each major, but most require the student to complete and present a research paper in their academic discipline.
The admissions process is essential for anyone interested in attending Spring Hill College at any level – including traditional, undergraduate students, graduate students, and adult learners. The admission requirements and timelines vary by group.
At Spring Hill College, we believe that a Jesuit, liberal arts education should be affordable to all families. We offer a variety of scholarships and programs. Because of this, our average financial aid package for first-year students is $35,219, and 98.3% of our students receive some form of financial aid. First-year students are considered for up to $28,000 in scholarships, and transfer students are considered for up to $19,500 in scholarships based on academic achievements alone.
Spring Hill's campus is a vibrant center of activity, with numerous gathering points for students to interact and enjoy our unique sense of community. In an atmosphere that encourages spiritual maturity, respect for diversity, personal and social responsibility, and learning both in and outside the classroom, students grow together, form lasting friendships and develop skills to help them become leaders in learning, faith, justice, and service.
The Spring Hill College Center for Student Involvement (CSI) provides meaningful opportunities that connect students and families to the college community. We are committed to facilitating experiences that form leaders engaged in learning, faith, justice, and service for life. Students who get involved on campus tend to have a higher GPA and are more likely to graduate.
With more than 70 clubs and organizations that focus on academic interests, honor societies, the performing arts, Greek life, leadership training, media organizations, and service organizations, you will find something for you to enjoy. And if you do not find what you are looking for, we will help you get a few students and a faculty/staff advisor together to start your group.
At Spring Hill College, the Mary Lou and John Barter Student Center is just one example of how the college helps sustain its environment and contribute to the greater good. The center has achieved silver-level Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.
Green building practices can substantially reduce or eliminate negative environmental impacts. As an added benefit, green design measures reduce operating costs, enhance building marketability, increase occupant productivity, and well being. To remind students, faculty, staff, and visitors of the importance of sustaining our world, the new student center also features informational wall exhibits on sustainability.
