About This School
University of Louisiana at Monroe is a public institution located in Monroe, Louisiana with approximately 5,022 undergraduate students enrolled. University of Louisiana at Monroe has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 85%. The average net price after financial aid is $13,466 per year.

The University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM) is a public university in Monroe, Louisiana, United States. It is part of the University of Louisiana System. It is made up of four colleges: the College of Business and Social Sciences; College of Pharmacy; College of Arts, Education and Sciences; and College of Health Sciences. ULM enrolled 8,678 students in fall 2025, including 1,680 graduate students.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — at just $11,633/year average net price and $15,000 median debt, this is one of the more affordable paths to a degree in the region, and median earnings of $46,300 after 10 years are reasonable for the cost. The concern worth taking seriously is the 51% graduation rate, meaning roughly half of students who start here don't finish — so before committing, ask hard questions about what academic support looks like and whether your intended program has stronger outcomes. Worth considering if you're cost-conscious and have a clear plan, but go in with eyes open.
