Hiram College

Hiram is a coeducational liberal arts college of 1,100+ men and women located in the historic Western Reserve region of Ohio. They offer 32 majors, 38 minors and 7 pre-professional programs. Hiram was established in the mid-nineteenth century as a preparatory institution of high grade called the Western Reserve Eclectic Institute. The Institute was founded by the Disciples of Christ and located in Hiram, Ohio, because the founders believed this area of the Western Reserve to be "healthful and free of distractions." The following month, on December 20, the founders accepted the suggestion of Isaac Errett and named the school the Western Reserve Eclectic Institute.
