Overview
Malone College is a Christian college that is
committed to offering a high-quality education in a setting that encourages
a solid devotion to God. The College was founded and established in 1892
by Walter and Emma Malone as the Cleveland Bible College. In 1957, the
College moved to Canton, Ohio, and assumed the name Malone College. Today,
Malone is one of four Christian colleges in Ohio that is a member of the
Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU). Malone also belongs
to the thirteen-member Christian College Consortium.

Location
and Community
Malone College sits on a 78-acre campus in a quiet, residential area of
Canton, Ohio. This setting lends itself to a variety of cultural experiences,
including the Professional Football Hall of Fame; the ballet, symphony,
and theater; museums; and professional sports teams. There is also easy
interstate access to the metropolitan areas of Cleveland, Akron, and Youngstown.
Academic
Life
Since Malone is a college for the arts, sciences, and professions, there
is a comprehensive general education requirement regardless of the chosen
course of study. Students must meet requirements in each of Malone’s
academic areas, including communications, science, English, Bible/theology,
and social science.
Malone students must complete a total of 50 to 56 credit hours in the aforementioned areas. A minimum of 124 credit hours is required to graduate. This is an accumulation of the major requirements, the general education curriculum, and, in most cases, a series of electives. Malone offers forty-nine undergraduate degree opportunities, the most popular of which are early childhood education, nursing, and business administration.
Malone’s academic calendar is based on two semesters, with a summer school that includes three sessions.

Campus
Life
At Malone College, students are challenged to grow in three vital aspects
of life. Spiritually, students are placed in an environment that lends
itself to cultivating a deeper relationship with God. Academically, students
encounter rigorous challenges offered by a strong faculty, of whom 68
percent hold doctoral, first professional, or terminal degrees. Socially,
Malone offers students a chance to experience the real world through on-campus
and off-campus activities in which they are exposed to almost every kind
of social influence. This requires them to make vital personal decisions
and to formulate their own ideas and moral values.
Malone’s total enrollment (undergraduate, adult degree-completion, and graduate students) for fall 2006 was 2,304 students. More than 1,600 of these students are traditional undergraduates who represent twenty-seven states and nineteen other countries. The average class size is 22 students. More than 945 students live on campus in nine residence halls.
Sports
/ Varsity Athletics
Malone also offers strong varsity programs,
including nine men’s sports: baseball, basketball, cross-country,
football, golf, indoor track, outdoor track, soccer, and tennis and nine
women’s sports: basketball, cross-country, golf, indoor track, outdoor
track, soccer, softball, tennis, and volleyball.
Expenses
The cost for the 2006—07 year at Malone
was $24,190, which included $17,520 for tuition and $6670 in room, board,
and fees.
Financial
Aid / Scholarships
A college education is a family investment that requires realistic support.
Malone College is committed to assisting with that support. More than
93 percent of traditional Malone students receive some form of financial
assistance. This is offered through federal grants and loans, state grants,
work opportunities both on and off campus, or Malone College scholarships.
These scholarships are awarded on the basis of one or more of the following:
need; academic, musical, or athletic talent; or Christian perspective
and leadership ability. Malone requires the completion of the Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The average financial aid package amounts
to approximately $14,360 per year.

Malone welcomes applications for admission from
bright, qualified high school graduates who want to attend college in
an atmosphere of high academic standards and evangelical Christianity.
