Admissions news

Approximately 150 students submitted applications to Ashesi University this academic year. We have completed a thorough review of these applications and expect to admit about 30-40 students into Ashesi's entering class. Most of the accepted students are fresh out of secondary school and eager to begin their college careers. Despite a vigorous phone campaign to encourage more women to apply, only 30% of our applicant pool (and incidentally 30% of our prospective admits) are women. We remain committed to reaching an even distribution of men and women at Ashesi, and will continue to use scholarships to encourage more young women to pursue higher education in Ghana. We are in the final stages of the admissions process, and should have finalized who will be a part of our first matriculating class by mid-February. From the looks of the applicants, we are confident that Ashesi's first class will be a good one.
