About This School
Bryan College-Dayton is a private nonprofit institution located in Dayton, Tennessee with approximately 814 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $20,614 per year. The graduation rate is 50%, and the typical graduate earns $44,500 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $16,494 average net price and relatively low $13,000 median debt are genuinely appealing for a private college, and the small campus in Dayton, TN suits students who want a tight-knit, faith-based environment. However, the 56% graduation rate and 65% freshman retention rate are real red flags — nearly half of students who start here don't finish, which is worth taking seriously. Worth considering if you're confident in your fit with the school's Christian mission and have a clear plan to stay on track, but compare carefully before committing.
