About This School

Midland University is a private nonprofit institution located in Fremont, Nebraska with approximately 1,191 undergraduate students enrolled. Midland University has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 67%. The average net price after financial aid is $24,229 per year. The graduation rate is 43%, and the typical graduate earns $44,400 within 10 years of enrollment.

Midland University is a private Lutheran university in Fremont, Nebraska. It has an approximate enrollment of 1,600 students on 33-acre (13 ha) campus. Known as Midland Lutheran College from 1962 to 2010, the college is affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 43% graduation rate means fewer than half of students who start actually finish, which is a real concern worth discussing before enrolling. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively low $15,000, and the small Lutheran campus in Fremont can be a good fit for students who want close faculty relationships and a tight-knit community. Worth considering if you're confident in your commitment to finishing, but have a frank conversation about support structures and your major's job prospects given the $44,400 median earnings at the 10-year mark.
