About This School
Midway University is a private nonprofit institution located in Midway, Kentucky with approximately 1,262 undergraduate students enrolled. Midway University has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 95%. The average net price after financial aid is $29,579 per year. The graduation rate is 41%, and the typical graduate earns $37,400 within 10 years of enrollment.
Midway University is a private Christian university in Midway, Kentucky, United States. Related by covenant to the Christian Church, it enrolls approximately 2,000 students earning associate, bachelor's, and master's degrees. Midway began as an orphan school for female students in 1847 and over the decades evolved from a high school, to a junior college, and then a four-year women's college, the only one in Kentucky. The college became a university in July 2015 and in the fall of 2016 became fully coeducational.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: while the manageable debt load ($12,470 at graduation) and open admissions make this accessible, a 46% graduation rate means fewer than half of students who start actually finish, which is a real concern worth discussing. If you're drawn to a small Christian university environment with personal attention and strong equestrian or online programs, this could be a fit — but have an honest conversation about what support systems you'll use to stay on track. Median earnings of $37,400 a decade out are modest, so weigh the $23,863 annual net price carefully against your career goals and financing plan.
