About This School
Cairn University-Langhorne is a private nonprofit institution located in Langhorne, Pennsylvania with approximately 782 undergraduate students enrolled. Cairn University-Langhorne has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 84%. The average net price after financial aid is $29,577 per year. The graduation rate is 65%, and the typical graduate earns $38,700 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the 65% graduation rate is below average for a private nonprofit, and median earnings of $38,700 a decade out are modest — especially weighed against an average net price of nearly $30,000 per year. That said, debt at graduation is relatively low at $17,063, and the 84% freshman retention rate suggests students who do enroll tend to feel they belong. This is worth considering if you're drawn to a tight-knit, faith-integrated community and have a clear career plan that doesn't rely heavily on salary potential, but look closely at outcomes in your specific program before committing.
