About Excelsior University
Built from CampusPin profile data. Always verify final admissions, cost, financial aid, and program details with the institution before applying. See our data methodology and data dictionary.
- Where is Excelsior University located?
- Excelsior University is located in Albany, NY, in the United States.
- What type of institution is Excelsior University?
- Excelsior University is a private university based in NY. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
- What is the acceptance rate at Excelsior University?
- The most recently reported acceptance rate at Excelsior University is approximately 100%. Acceptance rate signals selectivity but does not predict any individual applicant's outcome and is not a measure of school quality. CampusPin reports the federally-published value; verify the current cycle with the institution.
- What is the tuition at Excelsior University?
- Excelsior University's published in-state tuition is approximately $22,141 per year. This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.
- How many students attend Excelsior University?
- Excelsior University reports total enrollment of approximately 14,477 students (undergraduate plus graduate). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
- How much student debt do graduates of Excelsior University have?
- Students who borrowed at Excelsior University left with a median of approximately $13,769 in federal loans, and about 34% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
- How much do graduates of Excelsior University earn?
- Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $78,493 for students who received federal financial aid at Excelsior University. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
- How should I verify final details about Excelsior University?
- CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Excelsior University.
