Is indecision over your intended major keeping you from finalizing your college applications? We hear that a lot. We also know that many students consider putting off attending a four-year college until they figure out what it is they want to study. To you and all of them, we say: read our guide!

You’ve probably seen the viral tik toks “Tell me you ____ without telling me you ____”—and if you haven’t, then Siena’s got you covered!

We put our own spin on the popular trend and asked our Siena community to tell us that they go to Siena, without outright telling us they go to Siena.

Got your financial aid award letter from Siena College? Here are three things we encourage you to do next.

We know college is a big investment. Hence, the Siena Guarantee, and of course, the FAFSA. But in addition to Siena aid and federal aid, there are quite a few ways to get additional funding that can actually be pretty fun and thought-provoking. Enter: external scholarships.

Take a look at the ten scholarship opportunities below. It’s not an exhaustive list, but these 10 feel very much in line with the kinds of students who apply to Siena—and they’re also relatively low-lift and unique.

Maybe a family member has inspired you. Perhaps it was a health-related hardship you had to witness. Or, and this is fine too!, you just can't get enough of Grey’s Anatomy or old episodes of ER.

Whatever it was that got you already thinking you’d like to work in medicine, we’re glad it did and we’re happy to help steer you in the right direction. Because the truth is: There are hundreds of career paths in the medical field, and while many are very different from one another, a lot of them share common traits and skills. And something you may not think about: The non-medical courses you should take too.

#SIENA2025: SPREAD THE WORD WITH THESE SOCIAL GRAPHICS!

Officially a Saint? Congratulations and welcome to the Class of 2025! If you haven’t already, be sure to share the good news with your nearest and dearest on social media. It’s time for some positive thoughts and messages!

Spotted on Reddit: A fantastic question about conducting your college admissions interviews over Zoom.

College always takes an adjustment period, but sometimes you just know if a place isn’t for you. Thinking about switching schools?

To make the transfer process a smooth transition, we recommend syncing up with a transfer admissions counselor at the college you're considering to make sure you get all the answers you need. (Siena’s transfer pro, BTW, is Jen Sloan, and you can email her anytime.)

There are a lot of solid reasons to transfer to Siena—especially because of our new Transfer Guarantee.

What that entails: Every admitted transfer student is guaranteed at least $28,000 in scholarships (you read that right!) toward the completion of their degree; a custom career experience; a personal Road to Graduation Coach to help you finish on time; and housing, if you want it.

Planning to become a CPA? It pays to research which M.S. in Accounting will best set you up for success. And if you’re already a CPA, but don’t yet have an MSA, going back to earn a master’s is one of the smartest decisions you can make to fortify your future.

So let’s get right to it: You’re here because you’re interested in Siena’s MSA program. To give you a graduate’s perspective, we talked to Terence Holden, a manager at PwC in Boston who earned his undergraduate accounting degree at Siena in 2012, then his MSA at Siena in 2013.
