About this School
:This article is about the college in Michigan. For the college in Illinois refer to Olivet Nazarene University. Olivet College is a liberal arts college located in the city of Olivet in the U.S. state of Michigan. As of 2004, the college had an enrollment of 1,070 students and is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Olivet was founded in 1844 with unique visions of liberal arts education. The founders of Olivet College believed in a coeducational experience. Service was another integral part of the founders' visions, as the founders helped to build the surrounding community as well as the broader community. The founders also believed that an education could be had by anyone, not just those "rich in the world's goods" -- a principle which continues to this day. Olivet also required manual labor as part of service to the community, which also helped form the college's ideals of social responsibility, which included abolitionist beliefs. Abolitionist beliefs, along with a coeducational experience led the state legislature to deny a charter for the college until thirteen years after the first courses were offered. Some Olivetians believe that the charter was denied because of possible competition with Michigan College (now University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.)
