About This School
Reach University is a private nonprofit institution located in Oakland, California with approximately 1,946 undergraduate students enrolled. Reach University has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 100%. The average net price after financial aid is $22,423 per year.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $13,305/year after aid, this is one of the more affordable private nonprofit options, and the near-open admissions (99% acceptance rate) makes it accessible to students who may not have strong traditional applications. The concern worth flagging is the 69% freshman retention rate, meaning roughly 3 in 10 first-year students don't return for sophomore year — a sign worth taking seriously as you weigh fit and support. Worth considering if you're cost-conscious and drawn to Reach's specific apprenticeship-based model, but ask hard questions about graduation outcomes and job placement before committing.
