Our City

Heidelberg University is located in Tiffin, Ohio, USA.

Tiffin is a city on the rise, with a thriving economy led by a Heidelberg alum as mayor. You'll experience the comfort and convenience of a safe small town while benefiting from the personal relationships and networking potential a close-knit community can offer. Start a career, follow a passion, and create lasting friendships in a friendly supportive environment.

You'll have options to combine majors and minors, unique professional experience through our HYPE Career Ready Program, and access to hands-on research opportunities, even the chance to earn a free MBA. Everyone here wants you to succeed, and you'll have the support of the entire campus community. Take a virtual tour of campus to hear more about our programs, people, and what you can expect from a Heidelberg education.
