The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 38% graduation rate means fewer than 4 in 10 students who start actually finish, which is a real concern worth pressing the school on before enrolling. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively low $15,000, and the Christian, Churches of Christ identity gives it a clear sense of community that will resonate strongly with the right student. Worth considering if faith-based campus life is a priority and you have a solid plan to stay enrolled, but look carefully at academic and financial support resources before committing.
