Hildegard College

Located in Costa Mesa, CA, Hildegard College is a business incubator meets classical honors college. We form entrepreneurially minded young adults into transformative leaders and culture creators who have the wisdom and experience they need to face the future’s most critical challenges. Our motto is Quaerare (to seek), Amare (to love), Aedificare (to create). Offering a single, rigorous Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts and Entrepreneurship, Hildegard College is action-oriented and steeped in the Christian tradition. We replace lectures, tests, and quizzes with Socratic small-group discussions, real-world projects, work experience with Civic Partners, and 1-on-1 faculty mentors. Our tuition, donor-funded scholarships, Homestay program, and work-study options make this high quality college experience both accessible and affordable. Applications are open for the 24-25 academic year. Visit our website to book a campus visit, request more information, and apply. Hildegard also offers learning opportunities for high school students and adult learners. Great Works Seminars offer learners of all ages the opportunity to exercise civil discourse as they study the ideas that have shaped history. Our upcoming Entrepreneurship Certificate will be tailored to meet the needs of high school students seeking early college credit as well as seasoned professionals exploring ways to develop and launch their businesses, non-profits, and ministries.
