Mount Marty University is a private Benedictine university in Yankton, South Dakota.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 70% freshman retention rate and relatively low median debt of $14,750 are genuine bright spots, but a 61% graduation rate means nearly 4 in 10 students don't finish, which is worth taking seriously. Median earnings of $39,400 a decade out are modest, so this is a better fit if you're drawn to a small, faith-based Benedictine community in Yankton and have a clear career path — not if you're counting on a strong salary bump to justify the cost.
