Who are we? Alfred University is a private, nonsectarian university of about 2,000 undergraduate and 350 graduate students, located between the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains and the picturesque Finger Lakes in Western New York State.

U.S. News and World Report consistently ranks AU among the top 20 master's level institutions in the North, and AU is currently the #1 "Great School at a Great Price" in the North among similar institutions, based on academic quality and price.

Who thrives at AU? Our friendly "campus village" is perfect for students who want access to a broad variety of challenging programs and interesting people, unlimited opportunities to develop leadership skills, a rich student life, and tremendous support in achieving goals, all within a rural setting.

We're internationally-known for our ceramic engineering program, and nationally-known for our School of Art & Design, but what our students really love about AU is the way engineers, artists, writers, athletes and social scientists all interact with each other and feel at home here.
