Admissions
Chamberlain University-Michigan admits 86% of applicants — effectively open admission, so the application is a formality rather than a hurdle. The applicant pool is small at 7, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. 67% of admitted students actually enroll, which is a high yield by national standards.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)

Six-year completion runs to 100% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. First-year retention is 60% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. The 9:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. Being a for-profit four-year institution is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual. The undergraduate body is just 643, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 643 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $28,045 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Income makes less difference than usual: $27,832 at $0–30k, $28,065 at $48–75k. Grant aid reaches 55% of students at an average of $4,741. 81% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.

| $0–30k | $27,832 |
