About Hampden–Sydney

Hampden–Sydney College (H–SC) is a private liberal arts college for men in Hampden Sydney, Virginia, United States. Founded in 1775, it is the oldest privately chartered college in the Southern United States, the tenth-oldest college in the US, the last college founded before the American Declaration of Independence, and the oldest of the four-year, all-male liberal arts colleges remaining in the United States. Hampden–Sydney College is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register, and is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA). Hampden-Sydney academics are focused primarily on traditional liberal arts programs, and the college offers only bachelor's degrees. A participant in the U.S. Navy's V-12 Navy College Training Program during World War II, Hampden-Sydney established the Wilson Center for Leadership in the Public Interest in 1996 in order to offer specialized training for students seeking military or public service careers, and offers a U.S. Army ROTC program through its partnership with the University of Richmond. Hampden-Sydney alumni have included eight state governors (four of those in Virginia), educators and businessmen, and numerous judges, businessmen, lawyers, and legislators throughout the United States.
