Albion College is the place where challenge meets opportunity. Where new discoveries are made, and where new ideas thrive. Like the town it calls home, Albion College has withstood tough times and has come back stronger and better than ever, enjoying a rising enrollment, record-setting fundraising and the introduction of new majors to a growing and diverse student population.
Albion College originally met the educational needs of the children of Native Americans and settlers in the area. In 1835, the College was awarded a charter by the Michigan Territorial Legislature, thanks to the efforts of Methodists who were early settlers in the Michigan Territory.
Always on the leading edge, Albion became one of the first schools in the Midwest to introduce co-education. In 1850, the legislature approved the founding of the Albion Female Collegiate Institute, which was then controlled by its counterpart, the Wesleyan Seminary Corporation. But in 1857, the two schools merged under the name of the Wesleyan Seminary and Female College at Albion. Albion College was fully authorized by the state legislature to award four-year college degrees to both men and women in 1861.
From the time the cornerstone was laid for the first permanent building in 1840 until today, Albion College has remained on the same site, the original part of which is now affectionately called "the Quad."
But as much as history is important to the College, it's the present and the future that occupy students. Like most small liberal arts colleges, Albion has had its share of tribulations. But in the past five years, enrollment has steadily risen to nearly 1,500 students and changes can be seen everywhere.
A gift from alums James and Lisa Wilson have led to the creation of a medical institute in their name which will revolutionize the way students approach and learn in medical school. Another gift from alumnus Joe Serra will provide a massive renovation to the health and wellness center, expanding it by 11,000 square feet and opening itself up as a gathering place for all students. Yet another gift from alums Richards and Marilyn Vitek will lead to the construction of a new music arts center on campus.
Our emphasis on excellence in liberal arts education is our hallmark. Our commitment to a broad, rigorous foundation is complemented by our work ethic. We put students in the real world and ask them to research, participate, and lead. We expect them to do it well, to take it further, and to be more. Because Albion is where you turn thought into action. Where you learn how to live at the leading edge of who you are. Where you become your best self, ready to live a life of impact. And that's Albion College today.

Admissions
Overall
From The School
Albion has a selective admission process because we have many more qualified applicants than spaces in the class. Students are considered for admission based primarily on academic performance. We evaluate the following:
- Your high school courses and GPA: we'll look for AP, IB and Honors courses, the number of courses taken in each academic area, and the grades you received.
- Your scores on either the SAT or ACT—it is not necessary to take both.
- Your extracurricular activities: Tell us what you do outside the classroom—athletics, music, theatre, community service, clubs, organizations, and so on.
- Your School Report and letter of recommendation: We're eager to hear what your school has to say about you as a good fit for Albion.
- Your application essay: We're interested to see how you write and how you think.
- Admission interview: One of the best ways to help the Admission Committee learn about you as an individual (beyond your formal application) is to visit campus and interview with an admission counselor.
Along with filling out the common application form, additional materials are required to complete your application for admission, including
- Official high school transcript
- Scores on the ACT and/or SAT
Documents can be submitted to the admission office: 611 E. Porter St., Albion, Michigan 49224

Students Say
Armed with a “great reputation” and a “small-town feeling,” Albion College provides undergraduates with a “rigorous but rewarding” academic experience replete with “huge opportunities.” Students here truly appreciate that Albion works diligently to foster an environment that “encourages questions [and] thinking” all the while aiming to “provide personal attention to each student.” While the college certainly offers a “great liberal arts education,” undergrads are especially quick to highlight the strong science, premed, and business programs. Indeed, students like to boast that Albion “has a very high rate of students being accepted into medical school.” And business majors point to the Gerstacker Institute for Business and Management, which allows students to “gain real-world experience” and even the potential to walk away with “a job offer.” Of course, regardless of discipline or department, Albion undergrads are full of praise for their teachers. As one thrilled student eagerly shares, “The professors care about their students’ success and are always there to help.” Importantly, they are “very knowledgeable in their material and try to make sure you learn as much as possible.” Further, they are “easily approachable,” “extremely passionate about their work,” and always “available for discussions.” As one content undergrad sums up, “I would say that the overall experience

Students Say
At first glance, Albion College appears to be “a microcosm of upper-class metro Detroit and Chicago.” Therefore, it’s not surprising that a “slightly right-leaning, white, and Greek-loving [student body seems to be] the norm.” However, those seeking more diversity should fear not! One student assures us, “I have met anarchists and proud communists. There is a mix, but you have to dig for it.” Beyond race and political affiliation, undergrads here find their peers to be “serious about school but also very fun and friendly.” Moreover, they are “bright individuals that want to succeed” and certainly people who “value their education.” They also seem to have “a million interests,” which they vigorously pursue through a number of extracurricular activities and programs. As one socially satisfied undergrad sums up, “I think there is a club or niche here where everyone can find a group of people they fit in with. I truthfully would feel comfortable sitting down at a table with any one of my classmates in the cafeteria and having lunch with them.”

Location
Albion stands on 225 acres with more than 30 major buildings. Since 2000, we've completed tremendous additions that range from the Ferguson Administrative Building to our LEED-certified Science Complex. The aquatic, recreation, and learning centers are complemented by our 340-acre Nancy G. Held Equestrian Center and Davis Athletic Complex, which was opened in 2017. Also in 2017, the opening of the Ludington Center officially established a College presence in downtown Albion, providing more opportunities for engagement and collaboration with the City of Albion and surrounding community.
In May 2020, a $5 million renovation of the College's Dow Recreation Center will be completed, offering opportunities for physical training as well as a gathering place for all students on campus.
Campus Facilities & Equipment
Albion boasts a state-of-the-art equestrian center on 340 acres of land just south of the campus. It is the only private college in Michigan and one of the few private colleges in the Midwest with an equestrian center. It hosts regional and national equestrian events as well as an NCAA sanctioned hunt seat team and there are boarding facilities for more than 70 horses. As well, students can join the team and not pay for lessons.
Albion has also renovated and reconfigured several buildings in downtown Albion for College and community use including the Ludington Center, Munger Place (which hosts a variety of living-learning communities of students) and the new Lisa and James Wilson Institute for Medicine.
Off-Campus Opportunities
Albion College has a dedication to working with the community in many ways. The College has relationships with local non-profit and for-profit businesses and institutions to promote experiential learning while gaining a connection to the community. The College is committed to promoting a vibrant community in and around the college campus.
Albion is home to 22 international students from 11 countries, including Brazil, Canada, India, Japan, Kosovo, Mongolia, Nepal, Peru, Spain, Russia, Vietnam and Nigeria. Additionally, there are five international non-degree seekers on campus.
The Center for International Education works with students, faculty, and staff to develop international programs that connect Albion's campus with the global community. For students interested in building their global competency and communication skills, a variety of intercultural programs help them shape their international leadership skills.
There are many internship opportunities through the schools Carl A. Gerstacker Institute for Business and Management, the Gerald R. Ford Institute for Leadership and Public Policy and Service and the Center for Sustainability and the Environment.

Students Say
While Albion students are often quite “studious” during the week, once the weekend rolls around they certainly know how to get “crazy [and] exciting.” Fortunately, there “is almost always something going on on campus.” Indeed, the “Union Board plans lots of free activities, concerts, comedians, etc.” Moreover, those interested in the party scene will be delighted to discover that fraternities and sororities are very popular at Albion. As one thrilled undergrad notes, “Greek life is fantastic. It really is the cornerstone of our campus. Every weekend there is a party or something going on at the fraternities. Whether you are into drinking or not, the guys there know how to have a good time.” While students bemoan the fact that “there’s not much to do in the city of Albion,” they do take solace in finding other off campus options. As another satisfied student reveals, “Bigger cities like Jackson and Battle Creek are only a fifteenor twenty-minute drive away, so if you’re looking for a day at a mall, that’s always an option. Plus, the college sponsors sending buses and vans to take students to places like Ann Arbor or Lansing. Generally you can find something to do.”

Sustainability
Albion College remains fervently committed to maintaining a green campus. Indeed, in an effort to underscore its importance, the college chose sustainability as a key theme for its new strategic plan. And it’s a theme that colors all facets of school life—from career fairs and film series to dining halls and facilities. More specifically, Albion is in the process of updating campus lighting to ensure it is environmentally friendly and economically efficient. When this work is completed, the college anticipates a reduction of carbon emissions by 650.79 tons (or 3,254 trees). Additionally, Albion’s science complex has been awarded LEED Silver certification. This amazing facility features a parking lot with recharging stations for electric cars, landscape that utilizes native species, and a design that uses 30 percent less energy than a comparable building (saving a whopping $150,000 in the process). Of course, the college also impresses upon its students the significance of green living. To that end, Albion mandates an environmental “category requirement” for all undergrads. This curriculum requirement has led to the development of over twenty environmental courses spread throughout the sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities. These classes are certainly striking a chord as many students can be found working on the college-owned organic farm. Undergrads have also established an environmentally themed dorm known as the E-house. And, perhaps most impressive, using a $10,000 grant from the EPA, a small team of students designed and installed modified bicycles and rowing machines that could convert an individual’s expended calories into electrical energy.
