About This School
Messenger College is a private nonprofit institution located in Bedford, Texas with approximately 24 undergraduate students enrolled. The school is moderately selective, accepting approximately 38% of applicants. The average net price after financial aid is $26,433 per year. The graduation rate is 100%, and the typical graduate earns $23,900 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: with only 26 undergraduates, you'll get a tight-knit, personalized experience, but a 56% graduation rate and median earnings of just $23,900 ten years out — against $27,000 in debt — raise real questions about the return on investment. Worth considering only if this college's specific faith-based mission aligns deeply with your goals and you have a clear plan for finishing, since nearly 1 in 3 freshmen don't return for sophomore year.
