Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low while exploring your options — at just $11,123/year after aid and a median debt of only $7,815, this is one of the more affordable paths into higher education. The 2+2 transfer partnerships with Central Methodist and UMSL are a genuine asset if you plan to earn a four-year degree. The honest concern: median earnings of $29,900 a decade after enrollment are quite modest, so be intentional about which program you pursue and have a clear transfer or career plan going in.
