Medium Sized Publics

College Search & Lists

<p>Its hard to find a list of medium sized, not huge (10,000-20,000), public universities that accept a decent percentage (25% or more) of out of state students. </p>

<p>Here is a list of those that I identified- in descending order of OOS %, I also listed size and USNWR rank (FWIW) and 2010 approximate OOS tuition rates. This info is from collegeboard.com</p>

<p>Thinking that others might find this list useful. Let me know of you can add to it!</p>

<p>University of Vermont 11,000 (75% OOS) Nat U 122 $34K
University of Delaware 16,000 (65% OOS) Nat U 75 $27K
University of Oregon 19,000 (47% OOS) Nat U 111 $25K
University of New Hampshire 12,000 (44% OOS) Nat U 104 $28K</p>

<p>University of Arkansas 17,000 (39% OOS) Nat U 132 $16K
University of Oklahoma 20,000 (37% OOS) Nat U 111 $18K
Clemson University 12,000 (35% OOS) Nat U 64 $27K
University of Connecticut 17,000 (33% OOS) Nat U 69 $27K</p>

<p>University of Pittsburgh 18,000 (31% OOS) Nat U 64
$25K Miami University- Oxford Ohio 14,000 (31% OOS) Nat U 79 $27K

James Madision 17,000 (30% OOS) Reg U 3 South $21K</p>

University of Kansas 19,000 (26% OOS) Nat U 104 $22K</p>

<p>UVA and UVM stand out from this list with the highest OOS tuition rates. I guess that each has its attractions, prestigious academics or ski slopes!</p>

<p>Tuition is more a function of state funding–or the lack of it.</p>

3

<p>South Carolina I believe is the worst state in the country for education funding. I highly doubt they pay more than 10-15% of all the costs to run Clemson. That’s definitely what is driving Clemson’s out of state tuition up</p>

4

<p>University of Missouri Kansas City, 20,000, (27% OOS) $21K
University of North Dakota, 16,000, (48% OOS), $16K</p>

<p>and no doubt many, many more</p>
