Elon University is a private nonprofit university in Elon, North Carolina, founded in 1889 as a four-year coeducational institution. Its undergraduate portfolio now spans more than 80 majors across Elon College, the College of Arts and Sciences; the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business; the School of Communications; the Dr. Jo Watts Williams School of Education; the School of Engineering and Computing; and the School of Health Sciences. Degree options include liberal arts and sciences, business, communications, education, computing, engineering, nursing, public health, the performing arts, environmental fields, and interdisciplinary study. Elon is especially structured around engaged learning. Students can connect academic work with internships, undergraduate research, global study, leadership, service, and other experiential opportunities rather than treating those activities as separate from the curriculum. The university’s program mix includes specialized undergraduate pathways such as engineering with biomedical, civil and environmental, computing, and mechanical specializations; biology with biotechnology and molecular biology, integrative biology, and medical-science pathways; English with creative writing, literature, teacher-licensure, and self-designed focus options; and a broad business portfolio that includes accounting, business analytics and AI, business economics and consulting, economics, entrepreneurship and innovation, finance, financial technology, human resource management, international business, marketing, project management, and supply chain management. Communications offerings include cinema and television arts, communication design, digital content management, journalism, media analytics, sport management, and strategic communications. Graduate and professional study includes the MBA, M.S. in Accounting, M.S. in Business Analytics and AI, M.A. in Higher Education, M.Ed., M.S. in Physician Assistant Studies, Doctor of Physical Therapy, and law. Current 2026–27 undergraduate tuition is $50,386 before required activity and health/wellness fees; the published total for newly admitted students is $51,368 in tuition and required fees. Graduate tuition varies by program, including per-credit business rates and annual cohort rates for physical therapy and physician assistant studies. Elon also has a substantial merit-scholarship structure. Presidential Scholarships currently range from $8,000 to $12,000 annually, while the Elon Engagement Scholarship provides $5,000 annually plus a one-time $2,000 Elon Experiences grant. Honors and Fellows programs carry additional awards for selected students. Career preparation is supported by the Student Professional Development Center, which provides advising, recruiting events, internship resources, job-search tools, résumé and interview preparation, and the Elon Job Network. Career outcomes are reported for the Class of 2025: 96% were employed, enrolled in graduate school, or completing service within nine months of graduation; 94% accepted positions related to their career goals; and the reported median salary was $74,000. These results complement an institutional emphasis on internships, with career services reporting that 83% of students completed an internship. The combination of a broad academic catalog, experiential-learning infrastructure, professional graduate programs, and institution-funded scholarships makes Elon a comprehensive private university rather than a narrowly specialized college.
