A PLACE FOR THE CURIOUS, THE BOLD AND THE GO‑GETTERS
Your Journey Comes First
A Transylvania education can take you to both places you’ve imagined and those beyond your wildest dreams. That’s because the value of the Transy experience goes beyond a degree. It’s a way of engaging with the world that allows you to expand your horizons — and a lifelong relationship that continues to pay off long after graduation.

The Transy Advantage
Transylvania is consistently ranked as one of the best values in higher education. That value includes:
- Generous scholarship and financial aid offers.
- The ability to lock in your tuition rate.
- Our Pioneer Pledge — which ensures that you’ll graduate in four years.
Above all, Transylvania gave me a confidence I lacked in high school — one that allowed me to apply and be granted admission to law schools I previously thought were out of reach.

Pursue Your Own Path
At Transylvania, you belong. No matter your interests, there’s something for you — from our 10 nationally affiliated fraternities and sororities to our 50+ campus clubs and organizations. Join an existing group or start your own — we’re here to help you become the best version of yourself.
Campus life is huge. There are so many organizations hosting events for students to go to! It’s always so fun to see campus come together during events like PumpkinMania or athletic events.

Compete With Champions
Into sports? We’ve got you covered. Transylvania Athletics offers 26 NCAA Division III varsity sports for both men and women. We also offer a variety of intramural and club sports. And we recently stepped into competitive gaming with our championship-winning esports team, which competes against other college and university teams in our state-of-the-art gaming arena.
The best part of my athletic career at Transy has been the connections that I’ve been able to make. I come from a really close-knit team where we celebrate each other’s individual successes along with our team success.

Lexington, KY: The Perfect College City
Lexington is a thriving city full of opportunities. It’s where you’ll find jobs, internships and community engagement. And our downtown location is right in the center of all the action.
I have been able to have close access to internships, shadowing, volunteering … all within a short distance from campus. I reap all the benefits of being in a large city while still having the small, liberal arts college experience.

An Education You’ll Value
Transylvania’s high-quality education at an affordable price is why Transy has been ranked as a top value liberal arts college. Our tuition and fees fall below the national average for comparable private liberal arts colleges, and 99% of our students receive scholarships or grants to bring that cost even lower.
We encourage all families, no matter their income level, to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as a first step toward accessing scholarships and aid.
