Hesston College is a private college in Hesston, Kansas, United States. The college has an enrollment of about 400 students who typically come from about 30 states and 15 other countries. It has a faculty-student ratio of 1 to 9.

History

In 1909, the Mennonite Church founded the Hesston College, because many of the early settlers were Mennonite farmers.

In 1981, the Dyck Arboretum of the Plains was founded at the college.
