Albright welcomes you to our supportive multicultural campus!
Albright College is proud to welcome students from around the world to our campus, where you will be empowered to reach your goals as a valued member of our intercultural community. We embrace all students and their dreams – and create a place for you to feel at home and thrive as you create your path to your future.
From our top-ranked academics to our acclaimed athletics and enriching clubs and student organizations, you can prepare for success, pursue your passions, and discover new interests. You may even consider joining our International Student Association, an organization that fosters understanding between all students. We can’t wait to celebrate your arrival at Albright!
Located in the city of Reading, Pennsylvania, Albright is the oldest institution of higher learning in our region. Although we were founded in 1856 and celebrate our history, Albright is a very modern place to learn, live and prepare to reach your future goals. While most everything students need is on our 118-acre campus, we are near several shopping areas, many restaurants, a medical clinic and a nature preserve with trails for hiking and biking.
Since our campus is in southeastern Pennsylvania, we are not far from Philadelphia (one hour by car), New York City (two-hour drive) and Washington D.C. (two and a half hours away) and many students are able to travel to these destinations to enjoy museums, arts performances, festivals and sporting events. Learn more about the communities surrounding campus on our

"I chose Albright College because it felt like the right fit for both my academics and athletics. I wanted to keep playing tennis while studying in an environment where professors actually know their students, and the small class sizes make that possible. The campus also stood out to me — it’s beautiful, calm and has a great atmosphere that makes it easy to feel comfortable and focused.”
- Saba Soroush ’27, co-majoring in business administration/computer science, Kerman, Iran
