All Degrees & Programs
With over 35 majors and minor areas of concentration, Elmira College lays the foundation for a diverse, cross discipline education, encouraging you to both specialize and explore.
Applying to Elmira College's undergraduate programs has never been easier. With rolling decision and your own personalized portal, you'll get your acceptance decision in no time.
If Elmira College is your top choice college, Early Action may be for you. If you want to receive an early admission decision from us, you apply via our Early Action plan. The Early Action deadline is November 15 and you will receive a decision by December 1.
Elmira offers rolling admission, meaning applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Once past Early Action decisions, applicants for regular admission start receiving notifications in early December. From then on, we are usually able to notify you of our decision regarding your application within four weeks of the date your application file becomes complete.
It's easy to apply using the Elmira College Application.
Here's what you need to do:
We also accept the online Common Application. Transfer students wishing to use the Common Application should use the Common App for Transfer.
International students, visit our International Admissions page for more information specific to your application process.
While not required, we strongly suggest you sit down with an Elmira College admissions counselor for an interview. You can schedule your interview by calling the Office of Admissions at (800) 935-6472 or by contacting your counselor directly.
