Crowley's Ridge College is a private nonprofit institution located in Paragould, Arkansas with approximately 162 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $17,236 per year. The graduation rate is 26%, and the typical graduate earns $29,600 within 10 years of enrollment.

Crowley's Ridge College is a private Christian college in Paragould, Arkansas, United States. While the college is affiliated with the Churches of Christ, students of all religious backgrounds are welcome. The fall 2024 student population of 299 comprises both non-traditional and traditional residential and commuter students.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: the relatively low debt at graduation ($13,918) and modest net price are appealing, but a 26% graduation rate is a serious red flag — meaning most students who start here don't finish. Worth considering only if you have a strong, specific reason tied to this school's faith-based community focus, but understand that median earnings of $29,600 a decade out leave little financial cushion, so have a clear plan before enrolling.
