FIND A SCHOOL BY SIZE

Below is a list of AICAD's 35 college members listed in order from the smallest to the largest enrollment. Enrollments are reported by FTE (full-time equivalent), which is the best way to understand the size of a college and to account for part-time students. Under an FTE system, two students attending half-time are counted as 1 FTE.

For more information about a member click on its name - you will be taken to the college's web site. Most schools allow requesting catalogs and applications online. For additional information beyond that which is available at their web sites, you should speak directly with the Admissions Office on each campus. AICAD is unable to distribute catalogs or admissions information for the member colleges
