Physics is a quest for understanding the principles that govern vastly diverse phenomena, from subatomic particles to our entire universe of stars and galaxies. It lies at the foundation of all natural science and supports numerous areas of engineering and technology shaping our way of life. At the Department of Physics and Astronomy, students enjoy small, rigorous classes working one-on-one with dedicated professors. Explore your interests further in Directed Studies, get involved in a research project, present your findings, study abroad, and gain work experience with local industry.

Watch an audience erupt in laughter as you deliver your line perfectly. Write a scene that draws tears from a full house. Create a set that places the viewer in another world. With Hanover’s Theatre program, you have the opportunity to be a multifaceted producer/playwright/actor and director.

Four main-stage productions, numerous student written and directed pieces, and hands-on experience will help you discover your talent in the world of the stage. Non-majors receive class credit and are encouraged to participate in productions as well.

Hanover’s Theatre department, together with its play-production arm, the Hanover College Theatre, will involve and educate you in all aspects of theatre in the context of a liberal arts education. You can:

• Take courses in everything from acting, directing, design and playwriting, to stage combat, global theatre and theatre management. You can even study-abroad in London and Stratford-on-Avon.
• Major or minor in theatre, or simply participate in it as extra-curricular activity.
• Be involved in four to five main stage productions during the season, as well as many additional student-originated shows, including an all-student-run comedy improv troupe.
• Not just act, but direct, design, and write for the main stage as well.
• Take advantage of internships and assisted summer-work activities in theatre.

Communication students learn through hands-on experience at Hanover. Small class sizes mean you’ll put communication theory into action right from the start and acquire an impressive amount of real-world experience by the time you graduate.

In fact, communication majors at Hanover College have the kind of opportunities only given to graduate students at most other schools.

• Media
  • Students can begin work in the campus TV station their freshman year, both on-camera and behind the scenes. Students produce and anchor talk, sports, news and variety programs. They travel around the world producing documentaries that are seen on PBS stations and at conferences and film festivals.
• Research
  • Every year several senior research papers are accepted to prestigious national conferences, with departmental grants providing funding for our students to travel and present. Recently, senior Rachel Helt presented her paper “Breaking Bad News: The experience of patient physician communication when diagnosed with cancer” at the Health Communication Conference in Washington, D.C.
• Rhetoric
  • Communication scholars readily discuss the latest political campaign, messages of pop music lyrics and social movements throughout history. Recently John Dean, the former White House counsel for President Richard Nixon, visited the Communication Law and Public Policy class and answered student questions about Watergate and Vietnam.

As a Hanover art major, you’ll travel to cities near and far to study historical masterpieces. But your experience will be decidedly 21st century. By exploring the breadth of media at your fingertips in the modern world – from drawing to painting to sculpture to photography – you’ll discover for yourself which medium best expresses your vision in a particular work of art. This interdisciplinary experience, rather than an intense focus on a single form, will help you become a critical thinker and problem-solver. Best of all, at Hanover, you’ll find inspiring faculty artists and a supportive environment where you can explore your own style and strengths.

At Hanover, students use chemistry to better understand the issues faced by modern society. Maybe your interest is life-saving antibiotics or new kinds of synthetic fibers. Maybe you want to learn how to measure pesticides in drinking water or the antioxidants in food. It’s all possible to explore in the superbly equipped labs at your disposal.

You’ll begin with an introduction to the breadth of chemistry, followed by a deeper study of advanced subjects. Your program will culminate with a collaborative research project in which you’ll explore an area of interest to you, with the help from a member of Hanover’s highly specialized faculty. Along the way, you will become a person who speaks the language of chemistry, thinks critically and solves problems.

At Hanover, the study of a modern language is rooted in activities and readings that will help you see the world with the perspective of another culture. You’ll learn to use language as a tool that connects cultures, business and individuals.

At Hanover, you’ll find many paths into the worlds of the Greeks and Romans. You can study Latin and Greek texts, as well as archaeology and the history of the ancient Mediterranean. And you can take further courses in mythology, classical art, early Christianity, anthropology or gender studies.

In other words, Classical Studies is interdisciplinary – it covers many ways of thinking about and approaching Greek and Roman culture. So we offer two different majors, designed for a variety of student interests. And within each major there is freedom to choose from among a variety of courses:

• Archaeology And History
• Travel Courses And Study Abroad
• Archaeological Fieldwork

At Hanover, studying economics will lead you to an understanding of the financial issues that drive local and world events – wealth, poverty, business, politics, stock markets, recession, employment, taxes and more. By developing a broad perspective, you’ll prepare for much more than making a living, you’ll prepare to make a difference.

Through meaningful service and opportunities to travel on extended field trips with our faculty in the U.S. and abroad, you’ll learn about economic challenges facing today’s world, and explore how you can help overcome them. The study of economics prepares you to excel in the continually changing and increasingly interconnected global economy.

What is the self? Does God exist? Why are some actions considered right and others wrong? What is the relationship between the world and us? As a Hanover philosophy student, you’ll grapple with life’s biggest questions in a remarkably broad range of classes.

You’ll also explore individual interests with accomplished, diverse faculty members. From contemporary political thought to Taoism and Cooking, these courses will challenge you to experiment with new ideas and further your own personal development.
