The numbers tell a mixed story here: the remarkably low net price of $3,935/year makes this one of the most affordable seminary options around, and the modest $16,094 median debt is a genuine plus. However, a 0% reported graduation rate and a 60% freshman retention rate are serious red flags that suggest many students don't finish — which matters a lot when weighing that low sticker price. Worth considering only if you've spoken directly with current students and have a clear plan for completing your degree, as the data raises real questions about academic momentum and institutional support.
