The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 66% graduation rate means roughly 1 in 3 students doesn't finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. That said, the median debt at graduation is a relatively manageable $22,969, and Boston location genuinely opens doors for internships and networking in healthcare, education, and business. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, faith-influenced campus in a major city, but ask hard questions about student support and why so many students leave before finishing.
