Academics
Studying online: a substantial share study entirely online
In Fall 2023, 9 of University of the West's 154 students (6%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 47 (31%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.
Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

- Where is University of the West located?
- University of the West is located in Rosemead, CA, in the United States.
- What type of institution is University of the West?

- What is the acceptance rate at University of the West?
- The most recently reported acceptance rate at University of the West 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 University of the West?
- University of the West's published in-state tuition is approximately $15,446 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 much does University of the West actually cost after financial aid?
- The average net price at University of the West is approximately $6,845 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. 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 University of the West?
- University of the West reports a graduation rate of approximately 38%. 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 University of the West?
- CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review.
