Let $D$ be an integrally closed domain with quotient field $K$. Let $A$ be a torsion-free $D$-algebra that is finitely generated as a $D$-module. For every $a$ in $A$ we consider its minimal polynomial $\mu_a(X)\in D[X]$, i.e. the monic polynomial of least degree such that $\mu_a(a)=0$. The ring ${\rm Int}_K(A)$ consists of polynomials in $K[X]$ that send elements of $A$ back to $A$ under evaluation. If $D$ has finite residue rings, we show that the integral closure of ${\rm Int}_K(A)$ is the ring of polynomials in $K[X]$ which map the roots in an algebraic closure of $K$ of all the $\mu_a(X)$, $a\in A$, into elements that are integral over $D$. The result is obtained by identifying $A$ with a $D$-subalgebra of the matrix algebra $M_n(K)$ for some $n$ and then considering polynomials which map a matrix to a matrix integral over $D$. We also obtain information about polynomially dense subsets of these rings of polynomials.
