The numbers tell a reasonably solid story here — a 75% graduation rate and $61,300 median earnings after 10 years are respectable for a small Catholic liberal arts school in Worcester, and median debt of $24,250 is manageable relative to those outcomes. The 87% acceptance rate means this is not a highly selective school, which matters if you're looking for a credential that signals competitive admissions, but for students who want a tight-knit campus of about 1,600 undergrads with genuine community feel, that's a fair trade-off. Worth considering if you value small class sizes and a values-grounded education, but make sure the $28,853 average net price fits your budget and that your intended major is well-supported here before committing.
