Albion College
Albion College is a private liberal arts college in Albion, Michigan. The college was founded in 1835 and its undergraduate population was approximately 1,500 students as of Fall 2021.
The college competes in NCAA Division III and the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA).
On March 23, 1835, Methodist settlers in Spring Arbor Township obtained a charter for a new seminary from the Michigan Territorial Legislature. Construction began in 1837 outside Spring Arbor but the Panic of 1837 ended the project. A petition to move the seminary to Albion was approved by the legislature in 1839.
Sixty acres (243,000 m2) of land were donated by Jesse Crowell to the renamed "Wesleyan Seminary", and construction began in 1841. The first classes were held in 1843 in the local Methodist Church. In 1844, classes began in the newly constructed Central Building, rebuilt as the present Robinson Hall in 1907.
The "Albion Female Collegiate Institute", founded in 1850, merged in 1857 under the name "The Wesleyan Seminary and Female College at Albion"; the merger was finalized in 1861, under the name "Albion College". The legislature authorized the college to confer full four-year college degrees upon both men and women that same year.
Albion offers bachelor's degrees in business, the humanities, fine arts, natural sciences, and social sciences. It provides study-abroad programs in Europe, Latin America, Israel, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Albion is perhaps best known for its equestrian center, the Nancy G. Held Equestrian Center, and its biology and physical education programs. The three popular first majors, by number of 2021 graduates, were Biology/Biological Sciences (43), Economics (33), and Communication (28).
The 144-acre (0.58 km2) Whitehouse Nature Center at Albion works with public schools and the community. It features six miles of trails, 400 plant species, almost 170 bird species, 25 acres of oak-hickory and flood-plain forest, a tall-grass prairie and spring in the Adele D. Whitehouse Wildflower Garden, an arboretum of Michigan trees and shrubs, 34 acres of farmland and research projects, and an interpretative building.
Albion College Astronomical Observatory was built in 1883-84 with encouragement from Samuel Dickie, later the college president.
