Adrian College

Considered a “modern liberal arts college,” Adrian College in Adrian, Michigan was named as the “#1 Up-and-Coming College in the Midwest” by the U.S. News & World Report. The college has its origin as a theological institute founded by Wesleyan Methodists at Leoni, Michigan in 1845. After some mergers and name changes, the new Adrian College emerged. While Adrian College offers 40 degrees, it also offers institutes.

Institutes are on-campus communities meant to support different areas of interest, like Study Abroad and Sports Medicine. But what Adrian College really needs is a financial support institute. Students at Adrian College are expected to pay $47,000 a year for their education. Of the 53% who graduate, this means that they can expect a 20-year return on investment of -$37,600.
