Admission Guide
New Saint Andrews College requires a completed application, official high school transcripts, and two letters of recommendation from teachers or mentors who can speak to your academic ability and character. You must also submit a personal essay explaining why you want to attend NSA and how it aligns with your educational goals.
The application deadline for fall admission is March 15, though the college encourages earlier submission for better housing placement and financial aid consideration. Rolling admissions means you can apply after the deadline, but spots may be limited.
All degree programs maintain the same admissions standards since NSA focuses exclusively on liberal arts education rooted in classical Christian tradition. The college offers bachelor's degrees in Liberal Arts and Philosophy, Literature and Writing, and History, plus a Master of Arts in Trinitarian Theology.
Housing fills quickly at this small campus, so submit your housing application immediately after admission acceptance. Most students live on campus for at least their first year. The college requires attendance at daily chapel services and expects students to sign a lifestyle covenant agreeing to biblical standards of conduct.
NSA operates on a unique academic calendar with intensive courses and requires Latin for all undergraduates. Students typically take fewer courses per semester but study them more deeply. New students attend a mandatory orientation covering academic expectations, campus policies, and the college's reformed Christian worldview that shapes all instruction.
Financial aid applications require the FAFSA, and the college offers both need-based aid and merit scholarships. Submit financial aid paperwork by the same March 15 deadline to maximize your aid package.
