Through the School of Graduate and Continuing Studies, you’ll build the expertise needed to advance your career. Choose from internationally recognized MS and PhD programs, as well as one of the nation’s top MFA programs.
Alfred helps you access a price point comparable to many public universities. We connect you with scholarships, grants, and financial aid options that keep your tuition within reach.
What is Alfred University known for? Alfred doesn’t stay inside traditional lines, and we don’t expect you to, either. Since 1836, the university has attracted original thinkers, problem-solvers, designers, artists, and engineers who want more than a standard path.
Here, you join a community built on experimentation and practical innovation. You work alongside people who question assumptions, test ideas, and create solutions that matter. This is where unconventional thinking becomes real impact, and where you shape what comes next.
The Spark is the official blog of Alfred University, created to illuminate the dynamic experiences, creative achievements, and unique perspectives of our student community. The Spark captures the essence of what it means to be a Saxon. Whether you're a prospective student dreaming of your next chapter, or a current Saxon shaping your journey, let The Spark guide you.
Since the 2026 graduation ceremony, Alfred University faculty and staff members have been gathering to have a little fun outside of classrooms and offices – playing softball on the University field below Main Street.
