Albion College is a liberal arts college founded in 1835 in the small city of Albion, Michigan, in the United States, on the Kalamazoo River. Students choose from more than 100 majors, minors and concentrations, with no waiting lists for majors, and every student graduates with hands-on experience such as internships, research, creative projects, community engagement or study abroad.

  • Sciences, mathematics, data science and computer science
  • Business, economics, finance, accounting and marketing
  • Social sciences, international studies and public policy
  • Humanities, languages and the arts
  • Pre-professional programmes (pre-medical, pre-law, pre-nursing) and an engineering dual degree

International students apply with the Albion Application or the Common Application; admission is test-optional, but English proficiency must be shown, as Albion has no ESL programme. All admitted international students are eligible for scholarships covering about 60% of expenses. Albion is a residential campus: students live in college-owned housing for all four years, and there are over one hundred student clubs and organisations.

SAT and ACT scores are optional. Late applications may be deferred to the spring semester because of the F-1 visa process. For the I-20, admitted students must document funds covering their first year.

Language Requirements

Albion has no ESL programme, so all applicants must show English proficiency. Minimum scores (total / subscore):

Financial Aid

International students who meet or exceed the minimum admission requirements receive an academic scholarship, and all admitted international students are eligible for awards covering about 60% of expenses. The amount is communicated with the admission decision. Families are generally expected to cover most of the cost from outside sources; Albion does not give loans but accepts external scholarships.

Housing

Albion is a residential campus: all students must live in college-owned housing for their four years of study, with a range of housing options in later years. Students over 23 are exempt. Moving to non-college housing may reduce financial aid.
