Jessup University is a private Christian university in Rocklin, California, United States, with additional sites in San Jose, California, and Portland, Oregon. The university had 1,743 students during the 2019–20 academic year. Founded in 1939, it had a total undergraduate enrollment of 1,289 in the fall of 2020 on a 126-acre (51 ha) campus.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 61% graduation rate and 69% freshman retention suggest that nearly a third of students who start don't finish, which is worth taking seriously. That said, if you're drawn to a tight-knit Christian university environment in a Sacramento suburb, the relatively modest median debt of $23,700 is a reasonable tradeoff. Just go in with a plan, because median earnings of $45,100 a decade out means there's limited margin for financial missteps.
