Over the past five years, Portsmouth Abbey students have been admitted to more than 400 colleges and universities in all regions of the USA, as well as Canada, the U.K., and Europe.

Portstmouth Abbey students are accepted at large state universities, including the "flagship" universities often referred to as the "Public Ivies," the U.S. Service Academies (Army, Navy, Air Force and the Coast Guard), several merchant marine academies, smaller specialty schools (art, business, performing arts) as well as a number of large private universities, and literally hundreds of liberal arts colleges.
