About This School

Stevenson University is a private nonprofit institution located in Owings Mills, Maryland with approximately 3,027 undergraduate students enrolled. Stevenson University has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 83%. The average net price after financial aid is $26,806 per year. The graduation rate is 66%, and the typical graduate earns $54,600 within 10 years of enrollment.

Stevenson University is a private university in Baltimore County, Maryland, United States, with two campuses, one in Stevenson and one in Owings Mills. The university enrolls approximately 3,615 undergraduate and graduate students. Formerly known as Villa Julie College, the name was changed to Stevenson University in 2008.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 66% graduation rate means roughly 1 in 3 students who start don't finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. On the upside, median debt at graduation is a relatively modest $21,500, and median earnings of $54,600 after 10 years suggest graduates do find solid footing in the job market. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, career-focused environment in the Baltimore area and have a clear plan to stay on track — but ask hard questions about support services and why so many students leave before finishing.
