Uraian Tempat

Albright College traces its origin to 1856. Affiliated with the United Methodist Church, Albright was formed through the mergers of three separate Pennsylvania institutions: Union Seminary of New Berlin; Schuylkill Seminary (later called Schuylkill College), Reading; and Albright Collegiate Institute (later called Albright College), Myerstown. The final merger occurred in 1929, when Schuylkill College and Albright College became Albright College at its current location in Reading. Albright College is the oldest institution of higher learning in Berks County and is located on a 118-acre suburban campus nestled at the foot of Mount Penn in Reading, Pa., a city of 80,000. The College is named for preacher Jacob Albright (1759-1808), founder of the Evangelical Association, a German-speaking denomination with beliefs similar to those of the Methodist Church. The College’s rigorous liberal arts curriculum has an interdisciplinary focus. Albright’s hallmarks are connecting fields of learning, collaborative teaching and learning, and a flexible curriculum that allows students to create an individualized education. Fully half of Albright students have concentrations that combine two or three fields of learning.
