The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 49% graduation rate means roughly half of students who start don't finish, and that's a real concern worth pressing the school on before committing. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a manageable $19,500, and the net price of $22,144/year is reasonable for a private school. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, faith-connected campus in Indiana, but have an honest conversation with yourself about the support structures you'll need to be in that graduating half.
