Hamilton College

Hamilton College, located in Clinton, New York, is a private liberal arts institution. Hamilton College was established in 1793 as the Hamilton-Oneida Academy and renamed in 1812 in honour of the first trustee, Alexander Hamilton, who served as president. Because of a merger with its coordinating sister school, Kirkland College, Hamilton has been a coeducational institution since 1978.

Hamilton is a purely undergraduate school, with 1,850 students enrolled in the autumn of 2019 and no graduate programmes. Students may select from 57 different fields of study, including 43 different majors, or they can create their own multidisciplinary focus from scratch. Hamilton's student body is composed of 53% females and 47% males, and it hails from 45 different states in the United States and 46 other countries. When it comes to admission rates, Hamilton College ranks among the most selective in the nation, with a 14 percent rate of acceptance. Hamilton teams participate in the New England Small College Athletic Conference, which is a division of the NCAA Division III.
