This small Illinois liberal arts college offers genuine value on paper — with an average net price of just $12,437/year and median earnings of $56,400 a decade out, the return on investment looks solid. The 79% graduation rate and 83% freshman retention suggest most students who enroll do finish, though neither figure is exceptional for a private college at this price point. Worth a close look if you want a tight-knit campus experience without the sticker shock of many private schools, but visit first — Rock Island's location and the small campus culture aren't for everyone.
