Our Approach
We are Stephens College. We are a small, private institution that takes seriously the process of admitting women scholars. If you have a passion for one of our areas of study (be it pre-med, therapeutic riding, theatrical costume design or any of our specialized majors) and appreciate individualized attention and professional development, then this may be a perfect fit for you.
That’s what this application process is designed to figure out. We take a personal, holistic approach to the admissions procedures because we’re striving to admit not only students who have academic potential (that would be reflected in a transcript or test score), but ones who also possess personal qualities recognizable through recommendations and interviews.
So, are you Stephens material? Find out! We accept applications throughout the year on a rolling basis (with certain priorities given to students who apply early). Since you’re already on our website, simply click the appropriate link to the right to complete our free online application. Or if you prefer, we have a printable PDF that can be mailed in, or we happily accept the common application. Most importantly, if we, your admissions ambassadors, can provide any assistance to you during this process, please let us know.
