THE HAMLINE PLAN
The foundation of Hamline's liberal arts education is the Hamline
Plan. The Hamline Plan is a nationally recognized general education
program that provides students with a set of flexible, goal-oriented,
skills and experiences tied directly to graduation requirements.
Designed to provide practical applications of a theory-based education,
the interdisciplinary Hamline Plan requires students to conduct
independent studies, participate in internships, and apprenticeships,
and to develop their skills in such areas as writing, speaking,
computing, and cultural awareness. For the student who seeks a true
liberal arts education, the Hamline Plan offers a wide and ever-changing
array of learning opportunities.
Hamline does not accept the Associate Degree or the Minnesota
Transfer Curriculum as satisfying the general education requirements of
the college. All courses are transferred on an individual basis.
However, in most cases the transferable courses completed for the
Associate in Arts degree or the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum will
satisfy many, if not all, if Hamline's general education requirements.
Many students also transfer to Hamline with credits earned from a
four-year college or university. In general, Hamline accepts credits
only from regionally accredited colleges and universities (i.e. The
Higher Learning Commission and The North Central Association of Colleges
and Schools). These credits will be at the college level in general
study or liberal arts courses in which the student received a grade of
at least C- or its equivalent. No courses will a grade less than a C-
will transfer.
