ICUF institutions offer undergraduate, graduate, first-time professional, and continuing education programs. The hallmarks of these colleges and universities are access, affordability, accountability, adaptability, and acclaimed programs.
Why Choose a Private College?
Because independent colleges do not receive operational subsidies, they have more flexibility and can flourish as they educate a diverse student population.
Independent colleges and universities are available across the state. While many educational institutions are turning away qualified students via enrollment caps, independent colleges have an exceptional record of openness to all students, including minority, urban, rural and physically challenged students.
