Founded in 1844, Olivet College is located in south central Michigan, 30 miles south of Lansing and 125 miles west of Detroit. It sits on a rolling hilltop shaded by huge maple and oak trees in the city of Olivet, a community of about 1,700 people.
Olivet College presently offers 28 programs leading to the baccalaureate degree, a master of arts in teaching degree, and dual degree programs with two higher education institutions in Michigan. Olivet College is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
Olivet considers extracurricular activities including jobs, athletics, and campus and community activities as integral to, not apart from, each student’s educational experience. We encourage and reward involvement in these activities because they provide rich opportunities for learning the same critical skills that are taught in the academic curriculum.
