John Brown University

John Brown University is a private non-profit institution located in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, with an enrollment of approximately 1,471 students. The university admits a broad range of applicants — its 76.1% acceptance rate means that roughly three in four people who apply are offered admission.

Published tuition is $31,756 per year, the same for both in-state and out-of-state students. The average annual net price — the total estimated cost of attendance, including tuition, fees, and living expenses, after grant and scholarship aid is applied — is $20,397. This figure represents what students actually pay on average once aid is factored in, and it covers more than tuition alone. About 23.7% of students receive Pell Grants, a federal aid program generally available to students with demonstrated financial need. Roughly one in three students (33.2%) takes out federal student loans. Among students who completed a credential, the median federal loan debt was $21,250, and 74.6% of borrowers were actively reducing their loan balance within three years of entering repayment.

John Brown University has a retention rate of 81.5%, meaning that proportion of first-year students return for their second year. The graduation rate is 71.8%.

Median earnings ten years after enrollment — measured across all federally aided students who enrolled, including those who did not complete a credential — were $53,907. Because this figure includes non-completers, graduates-only earnings would likely differ.

Among the programs relevant to career-focused adult learners, John Brown University offers preparation in Postsecondary and College Instruction, a field suited to those interested in teaching at the college level.
