About This School
Washington University of Science and Technology is a private for-profit institution located in Alexandria, Virginia with approximately 400 undergraduate students enrolled. Admissions are highly selective, with an acceptance rate of 7%. In-state tuition is $13,785 per year. The graduation rate is 67%.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — an 11% acceptance rate suggests selectivity, but a 55% graduation rate and 60% freshman retention rate mean nearly half of students who enroll don't finish or leave after the first year, which is a serious red flag worth pressing the school on. With only 302 undergraduates at a private for-profit institution, you're looking at a very small, commercially driven operation where outcomes and student support should be questioned closely before committing. Ask for post-graduation employment data and loan default rates before making any decisions.
