About This School

Crown College is a private nonprofit institution located in Saint Bonifacius, Minnesota with approximately 796 undergraduate students enrolled. The school is moderately selective, accepting approximately 23% of applicants. The average net price after financial aid is $26,672 per year. The graduation rate is 45%, and the typical graduate earns $40,100 within 10 years of enrollment.

Crown College is the name of several schools in the United States:Crown College, University of California, Santa Cruz, a residential college Crown College (Minnesota), a private college in Carver County, Minnesota Crown College (Tennessee), a Baptist Bible college and seminary in Powell, Tennessee Crown College (Washington), a defunct for-profit college

The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 67% freshman retention rate and 64% graduation rate suggest a meaningful share of students don't finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. That said, median debt at graduation is a relatively manageable $15,225, and for students committed to Crown's evangelical Christian mission and tight-knit community of under 800 undergrads, the fit factor matters a lot. Median earnings of $40,100 a decade out are modest, so this is best suited for students whose career goals align with ministry, education, or service fields where salary isn't the primary measure of success.
