Princeton is attainable, accessible, and affordable. Students explore their interests on a much greater and more personal level through our liberal arts curriculum that emphasizes creativity, innovation, and collaboration. The choice of what to study is yours, and you'll have the time and freedom to decide. With 38 majors, and more than 70 minors and certificate programs in two degree programs, A.B. (Bachelor of Arts) and B.S.E. (Bachelor of Science in Engineering), students do research towards a thesis in their senior year with a faculty mentor and embrace meaningful new interests along the way.
With a 5:1 student-to-faculty ratio, undergraduates learn from and are mentored by Princeton faculty members who are not just innovators and researchers but also listeners and supporters. Princeton’s close-knit community extends beyond the classroom with its unique residential college system.
Our need-based financial aid program is one of the most generous in the country and is designed to encourage all qualified students — regardless of financial circumstances — to consider applying for admission. In fact, families with incomes up to $150,000 pay nothing in tuition, housing, and food. Currently, 69% of Princeton students receive financial aid. We meet 100% of every family’s demonstrated financial need.
