About This School

Manna University is a private nonprofit institution located in Fayetteville, North Carolina with approximately 183 undergraduate students enrolled. Manna University has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 53%. The average net price after financial aid is $15,210 per year. The graduation rate is 80%.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $9,500 median debt at graduation is genuinely low and worth noting, but a 60% freshman retention rate signals that a significant number of students leave before completing their degree. Worth considering if you're drawn to a very small, faith-based environment in Fayetteville and have a clear sense of purpose — but ask hard questions about academic support and student experience before committing, since the 69% graduation rate suggests this school works well for some students but not all.
