Admissions
Maine College of Health Professions accepts 71% of applicants, which makes it accessible to most students who meet the baseline requirements. Only 14 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. A 100% yield rate puts this school in the upper range for admits who follow through.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)
These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

Academics
A 67% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. 33% of students transfer out, which reframes what the graduation rate above is measuring. The 11:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. This is a small school — 228 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 228 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $25,282 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $30–48k bands is narrow ($26,054 versus $26,827), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid reaches 61% of students at an average of $5,219. 90% 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

| $0–30k | $26,054 |
