Private College

PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES ARE SCHOOLS THAT ARE NOT OVERSEEN BY THE STATE OR GOVERNMENT.

There are many different kinds of Private schools. These institutions are controlled by a private body and are often historically established, religious, or specialized schools.

Many of these colleges use the Common Application, though others have their own individual applications. Deadlines and application procedures will be different than the UC and CSU systems, so make sure you look into due dates and requirements!

ALWAYS CHECK TO MAKE SURE PRIVATE SCHOOLS ARE ACCREDITED BY A TRUSTED ACCREDITATION BOARD!
