- Where is Great Northern University located?
- Great Northern University is located in Spokane, WA, in the United States.
- What type of institution is Great Northern University?
- Great Northern University is a private university based in WA. 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 Great Northern University?
- The most recently reported acceptance rate at Great Northern 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 Great Northern University?
- Great Northern University's published in-state tuition is approximately $18,300 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 Great Northern University?

- How much does Great Northern University actually cost after financial aid?
- The average net price at Great Northern University is approximately $21,029 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $19,898 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $32,695. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
- What is the graduation rate at Great Northern University?
- Great Northern University reports a graduation rate of approximately 50%. This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
- How should I verify final details about Great Northern 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 Great Northern University.
