About This School

University of Evansville is a private nonprofit institution located in Evansville, Indiana with approximately 1,477 undergraduate students enrolled. University of Evansville has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 78%. The average net price after financial aid is $20,230 per year. The graduation rate is 71%, and the typical graduate earns $48,800 within 10 years of enrollment.

The University of Evansville (UE) is a private university in Evansville, Indiana, United States. It was founded in 1854 as Moores Hill College. The university operates a satellite center, Harlaxton College, in Grantham, England. UE offers more than 80 different majors and areas of study, each housed within three colleges and one school within the university: the Schroeder School of Business, the College of Education and Health Sciences, the College of Engineering and Computer Science, and the William L. Ridgway College of Arts and Sciences. The school is affiliated with the United Methodist Church.

This is a solid option for students who want a small, personalized college experience — just 1,477 undergrads — with a genuinely affordable price tag of around $20,230 per year after aid and a manageable median debt of $19,000 at graduation. The unique Harlaxton College campus in England gives UE a distinctive study-abroad edge that's hard to find at this price point. The main concern worth watching: a 77% freshman retention rate and 71% graduation rate suggest a meaningful number of students don't finish, so ask admissions directly about academic support resources before committing.
