Biomedical humanities minor
Building on the values established by Hiram College’s Center for Literature, Medicine, and the Biomedical Humanities, nursing at Hiram fosters a personal philosophy that integrates the values of caring, ethical behavior, professional responsibility, and integrity, with the humanity necessary to be the best possible caregiver.
Hiram is only 45 minutes from three metropolitan areas: Cleveland, Akron, and Youngstown. Clinical opportunities are offered in these areas within major health care facilities.
