Purchase College today enjoys a world-class reputation for its arts programs and high rankings for its liberal arts and sciences programs.

First-year

Not surprisingly, Purchase is seeking bright, intellectually curious, civic minded, socially engaged, motivated, and enthusiastic students who not only want to learn but also make a difference in our community and world at large. For each entering class, we are interested in students who welcome opposing views and opinions, respect differences, and challenge conventional wisdom. https://www.purchase.edu/admissions/apply-to-purchase/

Currently studying at another college or university? Have you taken at least one undergraduate college course since you finished high school? You must be a transfer! https://www.purchase.edu/admissions/apply-to-purchase/
