- The College has a pioneering heritage, originally serving the educational needs of settlers' children and indigenous residents alike. Albion also is one of the earliest Midwest schools to introduce coeducation. The College was awarded a charter by the Michigan Territorial Legislature in 1835. Early attempts at coeducation were made in 1850 when the legislature approved the founding of the "Albion Female Collegiate Institute."
- At Albion, learning takes place as much out of the classroom as in, and we encourage all students to get involved. Our co-curricular activities offer students a wide array of fine arts, athletics, entertainment, and service opportunities. No matter where you are—in the classroom, on the sports field, in the Coffee House, or halfway around the world—you’ll see Liberal Arts at Work for you.
- Life at Albion College means many things to many people: a late-night study session in Wesley Hall… a pick-up Ultimate Frisbee game on the Quad… a nationally known comedian performing at the Kellogg Center.… an afternoon building a home for Habitat for Humanity… a lazy canoe ride down the Kalamazoo River. With such a wide range of living, dining, organizational, entertainment, and recreational opportunities, Albion offers something for everyone. As a residential college, Albion is committed to developing the whole student in a number of interrelated realms: intellectual, personal, social, spiritual, emotional, physical, and vocational. Living at Albion enhances the total educational experience.
