Office of Admission

MCLA operates on a rolling admission basis, with decisions for fall and spring terms commencing in early December and continuing through spring. Fall semester candidates are encouraged to submit applications by the March 1st priority deadline for full consideration for financial aid and scholarships.

The college strives to enroll qualified students from Massachusetts and the nation, who exhibit the potential for academic and personal growth, and will benefit from a liberal arts education.

As a member of the Massachusetts Public Higher Education System, MCLA’s admissions standards are determined by the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education.

To ensure consideration for admission, housing, and classroom space, students are advised to apply early.
