School Notes:
  • The College's rigorous liberal arts curriculum has an interdisciplinary focus. Albright’s hallmarks are connecting fields of learning, collaborative teaching and learning, and a flexible curriculum that allows students to create an individualized education. Fully half of Albright students have concentrations that combine two or three fields of learning. Half of our students graduate with combined, interdisciplinary or multiple majors. Last year, for example, students created over 200 different combinations of majors.
  • Albright College traces its origin to 1856. Affiliated with the United Methodist Church, Albright was formed through the mergers of three separate Pennsylvania institutions: Union Seminary of New Berlin; Schuylkill Seminary (later called Schuylkill College), Reading; and Albright Collegiate Institute (later called Albright College), Myerstown. The final merger occurred in 1929 when Schuylkill College and Albright College became Albright College at its current location in Reading.
  • The College is located on a 118-acre suburban campus in Reading, Pa., a city of 80,000 in a metropolitan area of 250,000. Albright College is one hour from Philadelphia and the Pocono mountain ski resorts, two hours from Baltimore and three hours from New York City and Washington, D.C.
  • Albright College is fully accredited by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. The Commission on Higher Education is an institutional accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education and the Commission on Recognition of Postsecondary Accreditation. Albright College is also approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, 333 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17126, 717-787-5041.
