==History==
Houghton College began in 1883 as Houghton Seminary, a coeducational high school founded by Willard J. Houghton, a Wesleyan Methodist minister. In 1899, the first few college classes were offered. James S. Luckey was appointed president in 1908 and Houghton College received its provisional charter from New York in 1923.〔 A permanent charter was granted in 1927, and accreditation by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools came in 1935. Stephen Paine was appointed president in 1937. When the former Buffalo Bible Institute merged with Houghton College in 1969, the West Seneca campus was created.〔(Houghton Star, October 2005 ) 〕 Wilber Dayton was appointed president in 1972 and he was succeeded by Daniel R. Chamberlain in 1976. The college initiated its first master’s degree program in 2004 and currently offers nine such degrees. Shirley Mullen was appointed president in 2006 and has presided over renewal of the institution. Under the direction of Dr. Rick Melson, the college has set new records of giving to the institution the past two years in a row.〔http://www.houghton.edu/news-media/recent-news/houghton-college-sets-record-giving-second-year-running/284/〕 Houghton College has faced financial and enrollment challenges〔http://www.houghtonstar.com/2013/11/09/college-announces-significant-academic-budget-cuts-for-2014-2015/〕 similar to other small private liberal arts colleges.〔http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2013/12/09/private-colleges-remain-under-weather〕 One response to these challenges was strategic reallocation of resources〔http://www.houghton.edu/news-media/recent-news/houghton-announces-strategic-realignment-of-academic-programs/335/〕 including new majors in 2014-2015 in Data Science,〔http://www.houghtonstar.com/2015/01/30/houghton-first-in-nation/〕 Sports Management,〔 http://www.houghton.edu/news-media/recent-news/houghton-gets-approval-to-offer-bs-in-sport-recreation-and-wellness-management/586/〕 and Music Industry.〔http://www.houghtonstar.com/2014/12/08/new-music-industry-major/〕
