About This School
Pacific Islands University is a private nonprofit institution located in Mangilao, GU with approximately 61 undergraduate students enrolled. Pacific Islands University has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 100%. In-state tuition is $7,203 per year. The graduation rate is 67%.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $6,746 average net price is genuinely low for a private nonprofit, making it financially accessible, but a 50% graduation rate means only half of students who start actually finish — a real concern worth pressing the admissions office about. On the positive side, that 100% freshman retention rate suggests students who enroll do connect with the community and return for sophomore year. Worth considering if you're drawn to a tight-knit Christian liberal arts environment in Guam and have a clear plan to stay on track, but go in with eyes open about the completion odds.
