About This School
San Francisco Bay University is a private nonprofit institution located in Fremont, California with approximately 126 undergraduate students enrolled. San Francisco Bay University has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 96%. In-state tuition is $8,830 per year.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — with only 62 undergraduates, this is an exceptionally small institution, which could mean close faculty attention or limited campus life, resources, and peer community depending on what you're looking for. The 81% freshman retention rate suggests students who enroll tend to stick around, which is a reasonable sign of satisfaction, but the tiny enrollment raises real questions about long-term stability and the breadth of academic and extracurricular offerings. Worth considering only if you've visited, confirmed your specific program is strong, and are comfortable with a very intimate — and relatively unknown — college experience.
