Overview

About The American College (Autonomous), Madurai

The American College is an arts, science and commerce college in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, established in 1881. The American College is government-aided. It is affiliated to Madurai Kamaraj University. Its programmes are approved by the UGC and AICTE. The American College offers 69 programmes, 34 at undergraduate level and 22 at postgraduate level. These include B.A. Tamil Literature (Aided), B.A. English Literature (Aided), B.A. Economics (Aided), B.A. Religion, Philosophy and Sociology (Aided) and B.Com. (Aided), among others. The official site shows applications for 2026–27. The current calendar page exposes a 2025–26 calendar rather than a clearly labelled 2026–27 calendar. Historical NIRF data for 2016–17 reports 295 faculty members and 101 Ph.D.-qualified faculty, but those figures are not used as current 2026–27 counts. The current official website presents the institution as The American College and advertises 2026-27 admissions. It is a religious minority institution and a government-aided institution with self-financing programmes. The 39-acre area refers to the main campus; the same SSR separately reports a 59-acre satellite campus. Library holdings of 150,107 books are from the 2015 SSR, while the current library page describes a stack room with over 60,000 volumes. The campus extends over about 39 acres.
