Albright offers liberal arts and pre-professional programs. It created one of the first undergraduate psychobiology programs in the nation in the 1960s. The College's liberal arts curriculum has an interdisciplinary focus that allows students to create an individualized education. Fully half of Albright students have concentrations that combine two or three fields of learning.
As a result of this approach to collaborative, interdisciplinary learning, two of Albright’s programs have received national attention in the past decade: theatre and fashion. The fashion department has made Fashion-Schools.org‘s list of the top 25 fashion merchandising programs at private colleges every year since 2013, and the theatre program has been honored by the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival consistently for the past 15 years. The Albright College Domino Players' production of "Clybourne Park" was named one of the best collegiate theatrical productions in the country by the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival in 2016. The national award recognized "Clybourne Park" for outstanding production of a play.
