Spotted on Reddit: A fantastic question about conducting your college admissions interviews over Zoom.

College always takes an adjustment period, but sometimes you just know if a place isn’t for you. Thinking about switching schools?

To make the transfer process a smooth transition, we recommend syncing up with a transfer admissions counselor at the college you're considering to make sure you get all the answers you need. (Siena’s transfer pro, BTW, is Jen Sloan, and you can email her anytime.)

There are a lot of solid reasons to transfer to Siena—especially because of our new Transfer Guarantee.

What that entails: Every admitted transfer student is guaranteed at least $28,000 in scholarships (you read that right!) toward the completion of their degree; a custom career experience; a personal Road to Graduation Coach to help you finish on time; and housing, if you want it.

Planning to become a CPA? It pays to research which M.S. in Accounting will best set you up for success. And if you’re already a CPA, but don’t yet have an MSA, going back to earn a master’s is one of the smartest decisions you can make to fortify your future.

So let’s get right to it: You’re here because you’re interested in Siena’s MSA program. To give you a graduate’s perspective, we talked to Terence Holden, a manager at PwC in Boston who earned his undergraduate accounting degree at Siena in 2012, then his MSA at Siena in 2013.

Out of all the business schools across the country, how do you know which ones should be on your list if you’re interested in an undergrad business degree or a master’s program?

Decide on a location. Research alumni networks. Read about the faculty. And, of course, look to the rankings.

Learn.org just recently published its 2020-2021 school year rankings of “The 50 Best Business Degrees,” and Siena proudly claims the #16 spot.

Even though there is so much to be excited about when it comes to college, you may be nervous about cost; student debt and private school tuition seems to always be in the news these days.

But we're here to tell you that much of what you hear is actually inaccurate, and as the admissions team at an affordable private college, we're happy to see that the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) has set the facts straight with their 2019 report on student debt.

As much as we seriously love hosting Open House at Siena—from the full-on pep rally to the petting zoo to the alumni panels and more—well, you know, COVID-19.

So in an effort to keep our visiting families safe and still provide a campus visit that exceeds your expectations, we’ve created a brand new way to see Siena.

The VIP Visit. It’s private, personalized, socially distant and still full of surprises. (And food.)

As you sift through your options for majors and minors available at the schools you’re most interested in, you may hear about or read the words “data science.”
Whether you recognize the area of study or not, here’s the first thing you should know: skilled data scientists are in demand in every industry, in every business. It’s a lucrative and exciting career to have, and a smart field of study to get into early—if it interests you, of course.
