Distinct Features of Private Institutions
(Emmanuel)

Private institutions, unlike public higher education, do not receive

state funding, thus they need to gain funding through other outlets
$38,584 undergraduate tuition

The President of Emmanuel College is able to sit on the Board of

Trustees, as they are not state funded and do not have to adhere
to all of the same standards as state funded institutions

Those with religious affiliation are able to serve on the Board of

Trustees due to the fact that private institutions are not state
funded
