About This School
Great Northern University is a private nonprofit institution located in Spokane, Washington with approximately 36 undergraduate students enrolled. Great Northern University has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 100%. The average net price after financial aid is $31,680 per year.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: with just 36 undergraduates and a 100% retention rate, this is an unusually intimate environment where students clearly stick around — but the tiny enrollment raises real questions about campus life, peer networks, and program breadth. The $31,680 average net price is a significant annual commitment for a school this small, so you'll want to carefully weigh what you're getting for that cost compared to larger, more resourced institutions. Worth considering only if the specific program or setting genuinely can't be matched elsewhere — and only after an in-person visit to make sure the reality matches the promise.
