About Olivet
College
Established in 1844, Olivet College is a private, liberal arts institution
located in south central Michigan, between Battle Creek and Lansing.
Olivet was one of the first institutions in America to admit women and
minorities. The college is dedicated to its vision of Education for Individual
and Social Responsibility, and remains true to its roots by providing
a quality higher education to all, regardless of gender, race or financial
means. Olivet College is home to more than 1,000 students, who study
under The Olivet Plan. In this unique educational experience, students
engage in both curricular and co-curricular programs that combine real
world experiences with lectures and service learning.
Olivet College offers 28 programs leading to a bachelor of arts degree,
a master of arts in teaching degree, and dual degree programs with two
higher education institutions in Michigan. Olivet is accredited by the
North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
The college offers opportunities for students to get involved in more than
20 clubs and organizations. Approximately 40 percent of all Olivet students
participate in athletics on a non-scholarship basis.
Olivet consistently has one of the most diverse student populations of
any private institution in Michigan. In a typical year, the student body
includes 20 percent minority students and international students from 14
countries. All of this makes the campus community a microcosm of the world - an
ideal place for learning to live and work in the global society of the
21st century.
