Worth considering if you're drawn to a faith-centered education with minimal financial burden — at just $8,829/year average net price and $17,073 median debt at graduation, this school won't leave you buried in loans. The 84% freshman retention rate suggests students who enroll tend to stick around, which is a quiet but meaningful sign of satisfaction. That said, the median earnings of $36,200 a decade after enrollment are modest, so go in clear-eyed: this school fits best if you're pursuing ministry, education, or mission-driven work where salary isn't the primary measure of success.
