From the Institution

Founded in 1835, Albion College is one of three original chartered institutes of higher education in Michigan and the #2 liberal arts college in the Midwest, according to Wall Street Journal/College Pulse rankings. At Albion College, we believe the best way to prepare students to have an immediate impact after graduation is to provide a highly applied liberal arts education within a vibrant and welcoming residential community. We prioritize building a culture of belonging from day one that makes space for all students to thrive and be themselves. There are no waiting lists for majors at Albion. Students take courses across Albion's liberal arts curriculum while pursuing a major in their chosen field. Students may also prepare for teacher certification through one of Albion's PK through 12th grade educational studies programs, earn a dual degree in engineering from Albion and the University of Michigan or Columbia University, or pursue a BFA. Whether experiential learning in the classroom, course credit internships, off campus study, paid work experiences, paid consulting opportunities, volunteer placements, or grant-funded research programs-learning knows no bounds at Albion College. Albion's renowned institutes and centers are designed to provide students with firsthand experiences, support, and networking resources to accelerate their futures in the areas of public policy and service, medicine and health sciences, sustainability, education, race and belonging, and business and management. Our Prentiss M. Brown Honors program offers small, discussion-based classes, field trips, and cultural and social events that emphasize critical thinking and build community. Albion has 24 varsity sports teams and is a member of the highly competitive Division III Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Albion hosts more than 100 student-led clubs and organizations. Nestled on the banks of the Kalamazoo River, surrounded by 140 acres of hickory and floodplain forests, Albion's campus is a nature lover's paradise. The picturesque downtown is two blocks off campus and includes a variety of retail shops and eateries. With our own stop on Amtrak's Wolverine line, and conveniently located 45 minutes from Lansing, Kalamazoo, and Ann Arbor/Detroit, Albion students have quick and easy access to nearby cities and major airports.
