We think “DIFFERENTLY.” We are a campus of confidence, heart, and determination. We aren’t your average college experience ... we are distinctive. We are made up of achievers, believers, entrepreneurs, and leaders. We are more than simply a “small college,” we are the roots of change. We inspire, ignite, and grow here. It’s getting your master’s degree in five years; it’s being a scholar, an athlete, and a humanitarian ... but more than just a number.
It’s making friends, building a network, and landing the job. It’s the experience of a lifetime, and ... it’s who we are. We call it home. We think you’ll find your fit here. More than a number, you are a name, and a person who belongs. Our campus is its own textbook, with page after page of growth and opportunity.
Do you have the “bulldog mentality?”
Call us a acre textbook. We are the best of both worlds. From the richly landscaped campus mall to the historic architecture of our founding structures, you can’t help but wonder if you’ve stumbled into an educational utopia. Our hallways echo with lectures from years gone by; our stages explode with heart
pounding performances. State-of-the-art athletic facilities and faculty who know you by name are certain to remind you that your experience at Adrian College is
Anything but ordinary. It’s extraordinary ... like you.

It fuels champions. It’s not about winning championships... but let’s face it, that is what we do here. We throw winning passes, hit home runs, score hat-tricks, and serve up wins in nearly every sport on campus. Maybe it’s because our athletes are strong — both in their sports and in their classes. The average GPA for our student athlete is above a 3.0, and with over 50% of our student body involved in some form of athletic activity, that says something. Actually, it says a lot. It says we value a winning tradition on and off the court, the field, the ice, or wherever our students spend their training time.
