Getting Started
For now, read through the following pages and start thinking about what classes you want to take this fall. Jot down your ideas so that you’re ready to talk about your plans during your registration and scheduling appointment at orientation.
The Hiram Plan
Hiram College has a distinctive academic calendar. Remember all students at Hiram take classes (usually three) in the 12-Week, followed by one 3-Week course every semester. So as you start thinking about scheduling, keep this in mind: your 12-Week classes will be pretty typical, resembling what you experienced in high school, and your 3-Week classes will be very different. You’ll be in just one class, for several hours a day, several days a week. It will be immersive, challenging and fun. As you think ahead to your sophomore year and beyond, you might even consider using your 3-Week for an off-campus experience, internship or study abroad!
