About
History
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 coeducation.
Education
Albion College is committed to liberal education in the arts and sciences. We believe such an education empowers individuals to live lives of constructive purpose and accomplishment, enriched by the confidence and pleasure that come from thinking logically, imaginatively and humanely. In light of this vision we seek to create and maintain, in a residential setting, a supportive, intellectually stimulating community which exhibits and prizes curiosity, creativity, dissent and diversity.
Research
Research at Albion College is supported through department instrumentation including a 400 MHz NMR, multiple automated Agilent GC/MS's, UV/Vis Spectrometers and more. The Dow Analytical Lab brings together into one place instrumentation that is used across disciplines.

Student Reviews
Liberal Arts
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
I appreciated the small class sizes and interpersonal relationships with my professors.
Small Liberal Arts college should not be underrated
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
Albion is known for their excellent professors and they rarely fall short of expectations. Athletics are excellent. Greek life is working hard to be more diverse and accepting, and we've made a lot more progress in my 4 years. Resident Halls, houses, and apartments could use some repair of a facelift.
Albion College: A Student's College Utopia
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
I love the university, I think it has given me all the growth that a small school can give. I would like the school to pay more attention to students of color, and supporting their journey, seeing that we are the minority, but other than that, I love the class sizes and the drive that some professors provide.
