How this school serves students from different economic backgrounds, including Pell students, first-generation pathways, and long-term mobility outcomes.
Hanover College admits about 83.7% of applicants. The middle range of SAT scores for admitted students falls between 1,110 and 1,280, and ACT scores typically fall between 23 and 29. Among enrolled undergraduates, 25.8% receive Pell Grants and 25.3% are first-generation college students. Transfer enrollment is limited at 4.4%. Azimuth ranks Hanover College #1334 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. The access ranking reflects the scale of the institution's enrollment: Hanover College serves a smaller undergraduate population than many of its peers, which shapes how many low-income and first-generation students it enrolls in absolute terms. Retention of first-year students stands at 81.8%, and the six-year graduation rate is 67.1%, with 65.3% of Pell-eligible students completing within the same window. Azimuth ranks Hanover College #380 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. The mobility ranking reflects the institution's ability to support students from low-income and first-generation backgrounds through to graduation and into stable post-college outcomes. While Hanover College enrolls a modest share of Pell-eligible students relative to larger public universities, those who do attend complete at strong rates and move into careers aligned with the institution's academic strengths, particularly in the biological sciences and related health fields. The combination of selective admission, strong completion outcomes for low-income students, and career alignment in high-demand fields supports the mobility ranking.
