Alfred University
School Description
Provided by Alfred UniversityAlfred University's mission is to foster a spirit of inquiry, search for knowledge through fundamental and applied research, and transmit that knowledge to our students in a highly personalized environment. Valuing diversity, tolerance, interdisciplinary work, and active learning, the University strives to develop our students' abilities to think critically, communicate clearly, understand an increasingly complex, technology-dependent, international society, and respond creatively to change, preparing them for a life of achievement and leadership.
Alfred University was founded in 1836 by liberal, independent thinkers who placed high value on education for all citizens. Today, the University has retained and built upon the strong values of its founders, developing as an institution of national and international renown that is responsive to the needs of contemporary society while remaining consistent with the spirit of its origins.
Alfred University is the second oldest co-educational college in the United States and one of the earliest nineteenth century colleges to have enrolled African American and Native American students.
Over the course of the twentieth century, Alfred University evolved into a complex institution offering a full range of programs in the liberal arts and sciences, art and design, engineering, business, education, and school psychology. For more information on Alfred's history, traditions, and people visit the University Archives.
Over the course of its long history, Alfred University has never wavered in its commitment to teaching excellence and concern for the individual student.
Alfred University is a friendly, vibrant living/learning community located in the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains in Western New York.

Alfred University
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaAlfred University is a small, comprehensive university in the Village of Alfred in Western New York, United States, an hour south of Rochester and two hours southeast of Buffalo. Alfred has an undergraduate population of around 2,000, and approximately 300 graduate students.
Though the institution has five separate schools and colleges, the institution's reputation is grounded in the arts and engineering. On April 14, 2005, the University announced it had received a gift of $35 million from alumnus Marlin Miller '54, and his wife, Ginger, to further support arts education. The gift is the largest ever in the university's history and is one of the largest endowment gifts made to a U.S. institution to support arts education. Ten million dollars is earmarked for a new theatre at the Miller Performing Arts Center, previously funded by the Millers, and $25 million will go towards the endowment.
Background
Alfred was founded in 1836 as the Select School by Seventh Day Baptists as a non-sectarian institution. Unusual for the time, the school was co-educational. It was also racially integrated, and enrolled its first African-American student and two Native American students in the 1850s, becoming the second college in the nation to do so.
The origin of the name "Alfred" is uncertain. Residents of the town and students at the two schools believe that the town received its name in honor of Alfred the Great, king of the Saxons, although the first documented occurrence of this connection was in 1881, 73 years after the first record of the name being used. State records which could verify the connection between the Saxon king and the university were lost in a fire in 1911. Regardless of whether the connection is historically accurate, Alfred University has embraced King Alfred as a symbol of the school's values, and a statue of the king stands in the center of the campus quad.
