Siena College

Siena, a Catholic and Franciscan college, founded in 1937 by seven Franciscan friars, is an independent undergraduate liberal arts college located in Loudonville, New York, a suburban community just outside the state's capital.

Siena students benefit from the College’s proximity to Albany, a hub of political and cultural activity and the center of Tech Valley, by acquiring practical internships (and later, careers) in government, the arts, science and business.

Admission to the College is competitive. Of the 788 incoming members of the Class of 2011, 76 percent graduated in the top third of their high school class and their average SAT score was 1125. All showed strength of character and a commitment to education. Evaluating applicants as whole and unique individuals helps the College find students who are likely to succeed at Siena.
