The numbers tell a mixed story here — a solid 82% freshman retention rate and manageable $22,000 median debt are encouraging, but graduates earning a median of $38,400 a decade out means the $28,183 annual net price demands careful thought about return on investment. Worth considering if you're drawn to a smaller private school environment in South Carolina and have a clear career path, but students without strong financial aid packages or a high-earning major should run the numbers carefully before committing.
