Hamline partners with Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, offering students the opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Arts in physics from Hamline and a Bachelor of Science in engineering from Washington University. Attend Hamline for the first three years (on average), and then attend Washington University for just two more years.

Students in University Honors are required to excel in four areas, spanning the curricular and co-curricular realms: academic excellence, undergraduate research, contributions to community and development as a lifelong learner. Students write their own honors proposals, laying out what they plan to do in each of the four areas, reflect on all aspects of their honors achievements, participate in University Honors events and present their honors achievements at a capstone presentation before graduation.

Hamline is a member of the Associated College of the Twin Cities (ACTC). Through this consortium, Hamline degree-seeking undergraduate students may register for courses at the other ACTC schools: Augsburg, Macalester, St. Catherine and St. Thomas. One ACTC course per semester is allowed. Some program exclusions apply.

ernships are a great way to test career interests, build professional skills, earn credit and fulfill Hamline’s Liberal Education as Practice (LEAP) requirement. Students are encouraged to participate in two internships over the course of their time at Hamline: An exploratory, entry-level internship as early as their sophomore year and another internship to further career development in their junior or senior year. The Career Development Center aids in exploring and securing internship opportunities. And thanks to our Pipers to Professionals Program, no Hamline internship experience goes unpaid.

Hamline’s Global Engagement Center offers international or domestic program options for a semester, a year, a summer, spring break or during January Term. Students expand their worldview and their resume while making connections and building friendships abroad, all while fulfilling important requirements like major classes or electives to stay on track for graduation and life beyond college. From Appalachia to the Arctic, the Gulf Coast to Guatemala, programs help students embrace the opportunity to challenge their beliefs and values; learn about different worldviews; and encourage self-discovery as they step outside their own culture and perspectives.

Hamline's School of Education and Leadership has prepared nearly 3,000 undergraduate and graduate students to become teachers over 25 years. Initial licensure programs are available at the undergraduate and graduate levels in many subject areas. Undergraduate students can also jump-start their career with our accelerated Master of Arts in Teaching, where students earn a bachelor’s and master’s degree and prepare for initial license in a single program. Additional licensure options exist for educators to continue learning throughout their careers.

From the Chemistry Club to Model United Nations, academic clubs at Hamline offer students the opportunity to explore their academic interests beyond the classroom and engage in collaborative learning with others.

The Wesley Center for Spirituality, Service and Social Justice is committed to helping students explore a path to making a difference in the world.

From partnerships with local organizations to student-led initiatives, there is something for everyone.

The Hedgeman Center for Student Diversity Initiatives helps create and sustain an inclusive community that appreciates, celebrates, and advances student and campus diversity at Hamline. Organizations support, empower and promote the success of all students with particular attention to US students of color and indigenous students, first-generation college students and others from historically marginalized backgrounds. There are currently 10 student organizations that focus on supporting a specific multicultural community.

Examples of academic honors societies at Hamline include Psi Chi Psychology Honor Society and Beta Beta Beta National Biology Honor Society. Hamline was awarded a Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society Chapter in 1973 and is now one of only 293 chapters in the United States.

Hamline is home to a number of clubs and organizations with a focus on political action and social change. Students engage with one another to gain leadership and advocacy skills as they strive to improve their communities.

With examples such as the Society of Physics Students and the Piper Investment Club, Hamline students have the opportunity to engage with fellow students, faculty and industry professionals to facilitate the exchange of ideas as they explore their career options.

Recognizing that Hamline’s campus community is religiously diverse, the programs of Religious and Spiritual Life are committed to fostering spiritual exploration and growth, promoting compassion, justice and concern for the common good and providing personal, emotional and spiritual support to the campus community.

Hamline Undergraduate Student Congress (HUSC) is the student government of Hamline. HUSC works with faculty, staff and administration to make sure students’ voices are heard. Another part of HUSC’s job is the management and distribution of funds to the many student organizations on campus. There are approximately 30 elected and appointed positions within HUSC including an executive board, representatives from each class and residence hall representatives.

Student organizations contribute to making our campus community a more vibrant and interesting place. Student clubs and organizations are a great way for students with similar interests to pursue their passion and make friends along the way. Examples include the Poetry Club, Anime and Manga Club, and the HU Climbing Club.
