| About this School |
| Houghton College is a 4-year Christian liberal arts college, operated by the Wesleyan Church. Houghton's main rural campus is in the Genesee Valley of southwestern New York (Houghton, New York), and a secondary suburban campus is in West Seneca, New York, a suburb of Buffalo, New York.
Houghton began as Houghton Seminary, offering high school-level work, in 1883, and began offering college level classes in 1899. The founder was Willard J. Houghton, a Wesleyan Methodist minister. It was chartered as a liberal arts college by New York State in 1923 and accredited by the Middle States Association of School and Colleges in 1935.
The school offers baccalaureate degrees in 48 fields. In 2005, the first graduates of the MA program for music were recognized. The student body is interdenominational, with recent demographics showing 10% of the students as a part of the Wesleyan church.
The sports teams are the Highlanders. Houghton fields teams in men's and women's soccer, men's and women's basketball, women's field hockey, and co-ed track. While most of the teams have enjoyed some degree of success, the men's basketball team has managed just two winning seasons in nearly twenty-five seasons of Houghton's NAIA participation.
Houghton College is a member of the Christian College Consortium.
