Talladega College

Talladega College is a private historically Black liberal arts college in Talladega, Alabama. Its current undergraduate list spans business and computing; English, history, fine arts, music performance and mass media; biology, chemistry and mathematics; and social sciences and education. The college also lists an MBA and an M.S. in Computer Information Systems. Because teacher education and other professional routes can add requirements beyond admission to the college, confirm the pathway with the department before planning a transfer or graduation date. The official program directory has the complete degree list.

Applying and arranging a visit

Talladega directs undergraduate and FastTrack applicants to its online admissions portal and graduate applicants to a separate application. Ask Admissions which checklist applies to your entry term and program, and request a written transfer-credit review before committing. For a campus visit, preregistration is required: the published student and family tour is Monday through Thursday at 9 a.m. Central Time, with check-in at 8:30 a.m.; walk-ins are not accepted. Start with the college’s admissions page and application links, or reserve a campus tour.

Financial aid: file the FAFSA and verify award terms

Talladega lists Pell and FSEOG grants, Federal Work-Study, Alabama state aid, institutional academic, athletic, band and choral awards, and outside scholarships such as UNCF and Lettie Pate. Its FAFSA school code is 001046. Institutional awards depend on eligibility, available funds and the student’s aid package; the college says full-time enrollment (at least 12 credits) is required to continue several academic awards, and scholarships are renewed annually. The online scholarship page still displays a 2024–25 common application, so do not rely on its old-cycle amounts or form for a new award. Ask Financial Aid for the current application and written renewal conditions; the office publishes weekday hours of 8 a.m.–5 p.m. and can be reached through the financial-aid and scholarship information.
