Maria College is a private Catholic college in Albany, New York, United States.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the affordable net price of $16,055/year and relatively low debt at graduation ($14,708) make the financial picture manageable, but a 43% graduation rate is a serious red flag that suggests many students don't make it to the finish line. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, Catholic-affiliated environment in Albany and have a clear, focused plan — particularly for nursing or health-related programs where Maria has a track record — but go in with eyes open and a strong support system in place.
