The numbers here tell a concerning story — only 23% of students graduate, and just 59% of freshmen return for sophomore year, suggesting many students struggle to finish or find the fit isn't right. On the positive side, the net price of $12,473/year is genuinely affordable, and median debt at graduation is a relatively modest $15,750. Worth considering only if you have a strong, specific reason to choose this school — the faith-based small-college community may suit certain students — but most applicants should look carefully at why so few students complete their degrees before committing.
