The Education Trust defines a university’s peer group using a set of shared characteristics: sector (public or private), median SAT for freshman class, cost of in-state tuition, % of freshman receiving Pell grants, under-represented student enrollment, number of students, admissions selectivity, % of degrees awarded in STEM fields, endowment, and others.
These fifteen universities are identified as CWU peer (not competitor) institutions:
