The college is named after Mother Colette Hilbert, who, in 1897, established the Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph, which became the college's founding congregation. In 1957, the community founded a teacher training college for its members; in 1969, having broadened its curriculum to include degrees outside of teacher training and expanded its enrollment to include both men and women, the institution officially became known as Hilbert College.

In 1992, Hilbert began to offer four-year degrees for the first time; today, it offers 13 four-year degree programs, including one of only a few Economic Crime Investigation programs in the entire country and the first undergraduate Rehabilitation Services Program in Western New York.
