Albertus Magnus College

Albertus Magnus College is a private, nonprofit Catholic institution in New Haven founded by the Dominican Sisters of Peace. It serves traditional undergraduates as well as adult and graduate students, with a small-campus setting and several flexible study formats. The college says its traditional undergraduate curriculum includes more than 30 majors across the liberal arts and sciences, business and education. Prospective students should compare the traditional, accelerated adult and graduate divisions separately: their schedules, tuition rates and aid rules are not interchangeable.

Programs, formats and nursing status

Traditional undergraduate majors include areas such as nursing, biology, art, business, criminal justice, psychology, sociology and education. Adult learners can pursue associate and bachelor’s degrees in liberal and professional fields, with accelerated courses organized into eight-week sessions. Graduate options include art therapy, clinical counseling, education, business and other professional programs; some are offered part time or in accelerated formats. Visit the college’s degree directory to identify which division offers the program you want and what format is available.

Nursing applicants should verify current accreditation status before enrolling. The college’s catalog says the traditional BSN and LPN-to-BSN programs are approved by the Connecticut Board of Examiners for Nursing and that the department is preparing for accreditation review under ACEN standards. That language does not establish that ACEN accreditation has been granted. Ask the department about the current review timeline and how the program’s approval and accreditation status affect eligibility for licensure, transfer and graduate study.

2026–27 tuition and scholarships

For 2026–27, Albertus lists $43,386 in annual traditional undergraduate tuition, plus a $1,000 comprehensive fee and an $800 activity fee, for a published tuition-and-fee total of $45,186. Housing and meal charges are additional. The college also publishes separate rates for adult undergraduate and graduate study, so use the specific program’s current schedule when estimating the real cost.

First-year traditional applicants are considered for merit awards including the Presidential Scholarship ($33,000), Mohun Scholarship ($31,000), Devaney Scholarship ($29,000), St. Thomas Aquinas Scholarship ($25,000) and Promise Award ($20,000). Transfer merit awards are listed from $10,000 to $27,000. Awards require full-time continuous enrollment and good academic standing; minimum GPA and renewal conditions depend on the award. Additional awards may apply to graduates of Catholic high schools, eligible student leaders, Honors students, alumni families and members of Phi Theta Kappa. Need-based college grants, Pell Grants, Connecticut aid and federal work-study can also form part of an aid offer. Complete the FAFSA (Albertus code 001374) and read the conditions in the written package. The financial aid office’s current scholarship and aid guide explains eligibility and renewal rules.

What students say and campus details

Student comments frequently appreciate the small classes, personal contact with professors and the ease of getting to know people on a compact campus. Some reviews describe supportive nursing faculty and useful campus activities, while others question whether the cost matches what they received or say residential life can feel quiet on weekends. These are individual reports, and the experience can change by program, schedule and year. Ask current students in your intended major about course availability, advising, clinical placements and what the campus is like outside class hours.

The main campus and college offices are at 700 Prospect Street, New Haven, CT 06511. The college lists (203) 773-8550 as its main number and (800) 394-9982 as an additional line. A general public campus schedule was not posted on the official contact page when checked; call ahead to arrange a campus visit and confirm office access. The college is institutionally accredited as a private nonprofit by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE).

To ask about admission or arrange a visit, use the college’s official contact and admissions page. Before paying a deposit, request the net price for your division, confirm which scholarship awards are renewable and ask the department any program-specific licensing or accreditation questions in writing.
