About This School
Ascent College is a private nonprofit institution located in Gainesville, Virginia with approximately 85 undergraduate students enrolled. In-state tuition is $7,680 per year. The graduation rate is 50%.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — with only 85 undergraduates, you'll get a genuinely intimate academic environment, but a 50% graduation rate means roughly half of students who start here don't finish, which is a serious red flag worth pressing the school to explain. Worth considering if you have a specific, compelling reason this institution fits your goals, but most students should ask hard questions about student support, financial stability, and outcomes before committing.
