About This School

California Northstate University is a private for-profit institution located in Elk Grove, California with approximately 69 undergraduate students enrolled. California Northstate University has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 85%. In-state tuition is $56,501 per year. The graduation rate is 88%.

Worth considering if you want a small, focused environment — with only 69 undergraduates, you'll get individualized attention that larger schools simply can't match, and the 88% graduation rate suggests students who enroll actually finish. However, the 85% acceptance rate signals this isn't a highly selective institution, so research carefully whether its programs and reputation align with your specific career goals, particularly given its for-profit status, which can sometimes affect employer and graduate school perceptions.
