Goshen College is a private Mennonite liberal arts college in Goshen, Indiana. It was founded in 1894 as the Elkhart Institute of Science, Industry and the Arts, and is affiliated with Mennonite Church USA. The college is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and has an enrollment of 824 students. While Goshen maintains a distinctive liberal Mennonite worldview and Mennonites make up 30 percent of the student body, it admits students of all religions.
This small Mennonite liberal arts college in Indiana is worth considering if you're drawn to a values-driven, tight-knit community — at just $15,725/year average net cost and only $13,750 in median debt, the financial picture is genuinely manageable. That said, the 60% graduation rate is a real concern, meaning roughly 4 in 10 students don't finish, which is worth asking the admissions office about directly. Median earnings of $42,400 a decade out are modest but reasonable given the debt load, making this a better fit for students motivated by mission and community than by maximizing income potential.
