Rush University is a private university in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Founded in 1972, it is the academic arm of Rush University Medical Center.
This is a strong option for students set on health professions — with median earnings of $125,000 a decade out and a modest debt load of just $19,273 at graduation, the return on investment is genuinely impressive. Keep in mind this is a highly specialized institution with only 120 undergraduates, functioning essentially as the academic wing of Rush University Medical Center, so if you're not committed to a clinical or medical path, there's very little here for you.
