Luc Lu
Luc Lu worked as a tour guide in China for many years before coming to Johnson & Wales University. That’s where he met former JWU President John Yena, who encouraged him to enroll. “I would recommend JWU to my friends and other people. I find that a lot of universities are task oriented. But JWU is people oriented; the staff, professors, counselors, everyone is ready and willing to help you without any bias. Everyone here treats me like I’m family.”	MBA in Hospitality Travel, Tourism, & Culinary 2012 China

Josué Roque
For Josué Roque coming to Johnson & Wales University has always been about gaining “hands-on” experiences. “I chose JWU because I knew my classes would be based on "hands-on" projects that help students break into their careers faster than other programs. My experience at JWU is something I'll never forget no matter what, and it's something I'll definitely talk to people about to inspire future generations. So far the best experience I’ve had is learning how to be a better leader,” says Josué.	International Business/Marketing Business 2014 Denver Honduras

Admissions

How hard is it to get in?

"Total" shows the total number of applicants for a spot in the incoming freshman class for the last year reported.

"Admitted" shows the number of those applicants that were accepted and offered a place at the college or university, both in raw numbers and as a percentage of the total number who applied.

"Enrolled" shows the number of accepted applicants that actually enrolled and chose to attend the college or university, both in raw numbers and as a percentage of the total who applied.
Applicants	Total	Percentage
Total	13,850
Admitted	9,424	68%
Enrolled	2,259	16.3%

Completions

How many students graduate or transfer?

"Graduation Rate" shows the percentage of students from a particular incoming freshman class that stay at the school for their full studies and graduate; the "Transfer Rate" shows the percentage of students from a particular incoming freshman class that transfer to another college or university.
Type	Percentage
Graduation Rate	54.6%
Transfer-Out Rate	0%

Test Scores

What ACT/SAT scores do I need to get in?

Many colleges and universities in the US require either the SAT or the ACT, both standardized tests that help schools evaluate candidates.

In this chart, you can see how the middle portion of students admitted to the school fared on these tests—those from the 25th to the 75th percent of all accepted candidates. In other words, the chart does not show how the bottom 25% of all accepted candidates scored, and it does not show how the top 25% of all accepted candidates scored—but it shows how the middle half of candidates accepted to the school scored.

If you have taken the SAT or ACT, or you plan to, you can see where your score falls in comparison to this range, which will help you evaluate your likelihood of acceptance to this school.
Test	25th Percentile	75th Percentile
SAT Verbal	N/A	N/A
SAT Math	N/A	N/A
ACT Composite	N/A	N/A
ACT Math	N/A	N/A
ACT English	N/A	N/A

Tuition & Expenses

How much does it cost?

This chart shows the latest tuition and expense figures published by the school, for out-of-state students—as typically international students pay the out-of-state tuition costs.

The figures assume the student will be living on-campus with full university room and board. Off-campus students could spend more or less, depending on their situation.
Category	Cost
Tuition (Out of State)	$23,955
Room & Board (On Campus)	$11,541
Books & Supplies	$1,000
Other Expenses	$1,250
Total	$37,746

Financial Aid

Do students receive financial aid?

There are three pieces of data in this table, which are designed to show how likely it is that an international student will receive any financial aid from the college or university.

"Undergrads receiving any aid" shows the percentage of first-time undergraduate students who receive any type of financial aid. However, many types of financial aid at US colleges and universities are not available to international students—like Pell Grants, Stafford loans and other federal loan programs.

The second piece of data, "Undergrads receiving school grants", shows the percentage of first-time undergraduate students that receive aid directly from the school—often this type of aid is available to international students.

"Average amount of school grant" shows the average amount that is provided in this category of aid, that may be available to international students.
Category	Aid
Undergrads Receiving Any Aid	97%
Undergrads Receiving School Grant	93%
Average Amount of School Grant	$5,097
