What Sets Amherst Apart
We search for exceptional students from across the country and around the world, from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences. Our financial aid policies are among the most generous in the nation and support our need-blind admission policy for all students, domestic and international. In all we do, our efforts are guided by the principles expressed in the mission of µç³µÎÞÂë.
Meet us on campus or on Zoom for a campus tour led by a student guide and an information session with an Admission dean. Register for an in-person or virtual campus visit — we’re looking forward to meeting you!
College is a time of discovery, when you wrestle with difficult questions, connect disparate ideas and discover what’s possible. Here, discover Amherst and what sets us apart.
We offer one of the most comprehensive, ambitious financial aid programs in the country.
