2008-2009 Catalog Nationally Recognized Top-Ranked Liberal Arts College Houghton Is One of Very Few Christian Colleges Cited in U.S 2008-2009 Catalog Nationally Recognized Top-ranked liberal arts college Houghton is one of very few Christian colleges cited in U.S. News & World Report college rankings as a top national liberal arts college. Spiritually Invested Christ-centered education Fiske’s Guide to Colleges notes that Houghton is “the pre-eminent evangelical college in the mid-Atlantic.” Globally Connected Cross-cultural experiences Houghton links students with cross-cultural experiences through partnerships and organizations around the world. One Willard Avenue, Houghton, NY 14744 www.houghton.edu 585.567.9200 or 800.777.2556 Accreditations Houghton College is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education 3624 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104 (267.284.5000) and the Regents of the University of the State of New York. It is also a member of the National Association of Schools of Music and the Teacher Education Accreditation Council. Equal Opportunity The college admits students of any race to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the respective campuses, and the college does not discriminate on the basis of race or sex in administration of its employment practices, educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, athletics and other college administered programs.

This catalog is intended to represent accurately the academic programs, policies, and personal expectations of the college for the academic year. However, routine changes in programs and in financial charges may occur and will apply to the academic year. Because the college reserves the right to withdraw or add offerings and make other necessary Houghton College provides an academically challenging, Christ- centered education in the liberal arts and sciences to students from diverse traditions and economic backgrounds and equips them to lead and labor as scholar-servants in a changing world.
