What are some quick differences? Public Private Low Ticket Price Larger School More Programs Large Class Size Funded through State High Ticket Price Smaller School Less Programs Smaller Class Size Tuition and Donors
Educational Difference Private Public Large class size (42% of U of M ave. 20-50) Large population of students (U of M 51,147) More Programs of Majors and Minors Can be education in mass, your professor may not know you by name. (can depend on school size) Professional Development is on Student aka Internships, learning opportunities and field studies.

Cost Break Down Public Private Public Universities generally cost less. Out of State tax can change this State Schools are funded through the state and federal governments, they do not need to rely on tuition to remain open. Private Universities generally cost more No out of state tax Despite a higher cost, private institutions can still have great financial aid opportunities Private Schools rely on tuition and donations to remain open.
Private School Affiliation Many private schools are affiliated with a Church or Religious community. Ex. CSP connects to LCMS, SJU connects to the Benedictine Monastery, Marquette extended from Jesuit community. Religion should never frighten you when it comes to education. You may have two courses in religious studies. CSP- Top three religous groups in order Islam, Roman Catholic, Christian. Most Schools that are affiliated are just that (St. Thomas University), some do use their education to highlight their faith. (Benedictian College) Affiliation creates a wide variety in private schools that public does not get.
How do I know what is the best fit? It is important to consider visiting both kinds of institutions while on your college search. There is no real science other than visiting and being in the community. Private schools are not all equal as are public schools variety is good then focus in on qualities Ask yourself the basic (or tough!) questions: What do you want to study, do I even know? How close or far from home do I want to be? What is going to work for me financially? What extracurriculars do I want to participate in and what do I want my campus experience to be? Most importantly! - How do I feel about making THIS school my new home?
