Huntingdon College Description:

Located on a 67-acre campus in a residential neighborhood of Montgomery, Alabama, Huntingdon College has a rich history dating back to 1854. This small private college has ties to the United Methodist Church. Huntingdon students come from 20 states and several countries. Students can choose from over 20 majors and several pre-professional programs. Business administration is by far the most popular field of study. Academics are supported by a 15 to 1 student / faculty ratio and an average class size of 20. The curriculum is centered on "The Huntingdon Plan" -- a model that emphasizes critical thinking, service and faculty-student interaction.
