University of Jamestown

The University of Jamestown features small, interactive classes that allow students to develop strong connections with their instructors and fellow learners. In addition, because the university does not hire graduate assistants, full- or part-time faculty members teach all courses, helping ensure students benefit from expert instruction. Likely a result of this focus on student learning, 98% of UJ graduates find a job or enroll in graduate school within six months of earning their degree. The university offers both graduate and undergraduate programs in fields such as leadership, education, clinical counseling, and physical therapy. Four bachelor's degrees and three master's degrees are also available online, with curricula specifically designed for distance education students. First-year applicants typically need a high school GPA of at least 2.5 and an ACT score of 19 or higher (or 990 or higher on the SAT). Prospective students with lower scores must submit an essay outlining their plans for college success. All undergraduate students who live on campus are guaranteed at least $8,000 per year in scholarship funding.
