The numbers tell a mixed story here: the open admissions policy and low median debt of $9,500 make it financially accessible, but a 26% graduation rate and 61% freshman retention rate suggest that most students who start here don't finish — a serious red flag worth understanding before enrolling. Median earnings of $35,000 a decade out are modest, so you'll want to research specific programs carefully, as outcomes likely vary a lot by major. Worth considering if you're pursuing a field where MGA has a clear strength (like aviation or information technology) and have a concrete plan to stay on track — but go in with eyes open.
