Malone University Profile 9 Malone University was founded in 1892 as the Friends Bible Institute and Training School by Friends couple Walter and Emma Malone. The first classrooms were located in a rented home in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1957, with more young men and women arriving from neighboring states, the college relocated to Canton, and was renamed Malone College in honor of its founders. The cur- riculum also changed, and Malone became a Christian liberal arts college. In 2008, Malone College became Malone University. A fully accredited Christian university, Malone offers a strong educational experience based on biblical faith. Faculty members recognize Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and are committed to the integration of a biblical worldview with an exceptional academic curriculum.
