Welcome to Alfred University
Information for Wells College Students
To say that we are very disappointed to learn of the announcement of Wells College's closing doesn’t compare to how you must be feeling now. And, no doubt, you have many questions about what to do next.
Our Promise to you
We know its been a stressful time, our promise to you is to make your transition from Wells College to Alfred University a simple one, keeping you on-time to graduate with the degree you've been working toward. And we'll be with you each step of the way.
The Alfred University community stands ready to help you realize your educational dream and finish your academic degree. As we say in our mission statement, "We help students realize their purpose."
Alfred University is financially stable, having just received a credit rating from Standard and Poor’s of BBB+ combined with a “stable” financial outlook. Since our founding in 1836, we have become renowned for the values of inclusivity, intersections and mentorship. These values ensure we support positive, healthy relationships across campus. Our student-centered philosophy gives students of all levels easy access to research and faculty engagements that many do not experience until much later in graduate work.
And, we're pleased to extend to Wells College students the same terms they have if they transfer to Alfred University.
