The HIram Plan
Hiram’s academic semester is organized by the Hiram Plan. Sometimes called the 12+3 plan, it’s as unique and as special as our students.
The Hiram Plan consists of 12 weeks of traditional coursework, a one-week break, followed by a three-week intensive study in a single class. According to alumni and students alike, this structure is a near perfect one for fostering student learning and engagement.
Experiential Learning beyond the classroom
Field stations
Our field stations are active research labs, offering classroom opportunities that can’t be found on most campuses. Both facilities deliver enrichment and inspiration for students in all majors.
