Executive Compensation at the University of Chicago (2021)

The University of Chicago (UC) is a private nondenominational research university that accepts about 7% of the students who apply. UC has approximately 7,000 undergraduate students and 10,000 graduate students.  The annual tuition with room and board for an undergraduate is about $90,000 annually which means a 4-year degree is about $360,000.
