About This School

Queens University of Charlotte is a private nonprofit institution located in Charlotte, North Carolina with approximately 1,362 undergraduate students enrolled. Queens University of Charlotte has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 68%. The average net price after financial aid is $27,786 per year. The graduation rate is 66%, and the typical graduate earns $49,400 within 10 years of enrollment.

The Queens University of Charlotte is a private university in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States. It has approximately 1,900 undergraduate and graduate students. Established in 1857, the university offers 50 undergraduate majors, 58 minors, and 35 graduate programs. Students are guaranteed at least one internship before graduating. The university is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA).

The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 66% graduation rate and 76% freshman retention suggest a meaningful chunk of students don't finish, which is worth asking about before enrolling. On the positive side, the guaranteed internship policy is a real differentiator in Charlotte's growing job market, and median debt of $19,500 at graduation is relatively manageable. Worth considering if you want a small, connected campus experience in a major city and have a clear plan to stay on track — but don't assume enrollment equals a diploma.
