Private Colleges in Arizona, Ranked by Acceptance Rate

Arizona has 5 private colleges in the CollegeCalcAI database. The most selective is Benedictine University at Mesa at 65%; the most accessible is Grand Canyon University at 79%, and the median private college in the state admits 71%. None admits fewer than 30% of applicants, so a strong profile is competitive across the whole list. Private colleges set their own aid policies, so the sticker price on this list says little about what a family actually pays; the acceptance rate says a lot about where to apply.
