Husson University has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 86%. The average net price after financial aid is $20,798 per year.

Husson University is a private university in Bangor, Maine, United States. It offers undergraduate and graduate degrees and as of Fall 2022 had a total enrollment of 3,065 students, including 636 graduate students in master's and doctoral programs.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $20,798 average net price is genuinely affordable, and the $21,500 median debt at graduation is relatively manageable, but a 57% graduation rate means nearly half of students who start don't finish — that's a real concern worth asking the school about directly. Median earnings of $42,500 ten years out are modest, so this makes the most sense if you're pursuing one of Husson's career-focused programs in business, nursing, or pharmacy, where job placement tends to be more direct. Worth considering if you have a clear professional goal and a plan to stay engaged — but do your homework on support services and why so many students leave before finishing.
