Mount Aloysius College has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 82%. The average net price after financial aid is $22,344 per year.

Mount Aloysius College is a private, Catholic, liberal-arts college in Cresson Township, Pennsylvania, United States. It was founded in 1853 and is conducted under the tradition of the Sisters of Mercy. The college is located on a 193-acre campus in the Allegheny Mountains.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at $20,748 net per year and a modest median debt of $16,980 at graduation, the cost is genuinely manageable, but a 56% graduation rate means nearly half of students who start don't finish — worth asking hard questions about why. Set in a small Catholic liberal arts tradition in rural Pennsylvania, this school works best for students who want close-knit support and are drawn to health-focused programs, but the $43,200 median earnings a decade out suggests limited financial upside, so make sure your intended major has a clear path to stronger outcomes.
