Hastings College is a private Presbyterian college in Hastings, Nebraska.
History
The college was founded in 1882 by a group of men and women seeking to establish a Presbyterian college.
Academics
The college offers more than 40 undergraduate majors and pre-professional programs[2] and one graduate degree, a Master of Arts in Teaching.[3]
Accreditations
Hastings College has been accredited by the Higher Learning Commission's North Central Association of Colleges and Schools since 1916.[4] It has been accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education since 1964.[5]
Campus
The Hastings College campus consists of 40 buildings on 120 acres (49 ha). The college's first building was McCormick Hall, constructed in 1883[6] and still in use today. More recent additions include the Jackson Dinsdale Art Center, built in 2016; Osborne Family Sports Complex/Fleharty Educational Center, built in 2002; the Bronco Village student apartments (2005); the Morrison-Reeves Science Center, opened in late 2009. McCormick Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, and the Hastings College Historic District designation, made in 2017, includes 12 buildings on campus for their historic significance in the college's post World War II growth.[7]
Athletics
The Hastings 24 athletic intercollegiate varsity teams are called the Broncos. The college is a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), primarily competing in the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) since the 1969–70 academic year.
