To be eligible for undergraduate admission at the State University of New York (SUNY) Albany, applicants must have a high school diploma or equivalent (e.g., GED). Competitive applicants typically complete a rigorous college-preparatory curriculum, including courses in English, math, science, social studies, and foreign languages. Standardized test scores (SAT/ACT) are optional for most programs but may strengthen an application.
Graduate program requirements vary by department but generally include a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution, a minimum GPA of 3.0, letters of recommendation, and program-specific prerequisites. International students must demonstrate English proficiency via TOEFL or IELTS scores.
