Private & Out of State College
There are over 70 independent colleges and universities in California represented by AICCU (Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities) and thousands of out-of-state universities. Private/Out-of-State campuses are extremely diverse- ranging from large to small in size, faith-based colleges, research universities, performing and visual arts colleges, “non-traditional” programs, and specialized professional schools.
Admission requirements vary by college/university so it is important to research the specific college/university in mind in order to ensure that requirements are met. Applications and deadlines and price vary by college/university however several AICCU campus use the Common Application for admissions purposes.

Below are the states that are participants in the Western Undergraduate Exchange.
