King's College has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 93%. The average net price after financial aid is $23,093 per year.

King's College or The King's College often refers to two higher education institutions in the United Kingdom:King's College, Cambridge, a constituent of the University of Cambridge King's College London, a constituent of the University of London
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 60% graduation rate means 4 in 10 students don't finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. On the financial side, things look more reasonable — median debt of $22,847 against median earnings of $57,500 a decade out suggests graduates who do finish can manage their loans without being crushed. Worth considering if you want a small, accessible Catholic liberal arts college in Pennsylvania and have a clear plan to stay enrolled and finish strong.
