About This School
Webb Institute is a private nonprofit institution located in Glen Cove, New York with approximately 105 undergraduate students enrolled. The school is moderately selective, accepting approximately 20% of applicants. The average net price after financial aid is $19,077 per year. The graduation rate is 81%.
This is a strong option for students dead-set on naval architecture or marine engineering — it's one of the only schools in the country focused exclusively on those fields, and a 96% freshman retention rate suggests students who get in tend to love it. At an average net price of $19,077 per year, the value is genuinely remarkable for a selective private school with a 20% acceptance rate. The one honest concern is the small 81% graduation rate for such a tiny, focused program — worth asking admissions directly what's driving that attrition before committing.
