The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 48% graduation rate means roughly half of students who start don't finish, which is a real concern worth discussing before enrolling. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively modest $15,030, and the small campus of about 1,300 students suits those who want a faith-centered, tight-knit community in a Baptist tradition. Worth considering if you're drawn to Christian higher education in a personal setting, but ask hard questions about academic and financial support programs given the retention and graduation trends.
