Hesston College is a private institution affiliated with the Mennonite Church USA. Founded in 1909, it offers two-year associate degrees and certificate programs. Unlike public universities funded by state governments, Hesston relies on tuition, donations, and church support. The college emphasizes a faith-based education with a focus on liberal arts and career-oriented programs. Its small size fosters close student-faculty relationships. Hesston’s private status allows it to maintain a distinct religious and academic mission while providing financial aid through scholarships and grants.
