The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 75% graduation rate and a relatively affordable net price of $14,867/year are genuine bright spots for a private institution, and the 31% acceptance rate suggests real selectivity for its health sciences focus. However, the 0% freshman retention rate is a serious red flag that demands an explanation before you commit — that figure almost certainly reflects a data anomaly or reporting issue, but you should ask the school directly. If you're pursuing a healthcare career path and want a small, focused program without massive debt ($27,000 median at graduation is reasonable), it's worth a closer look — just get clear answers on that retention number first.
