The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 54% graduation rate means nearly half of students who start don't finish, and that's worth taking seriously before enrolling. On the plus side, median debt at graduation is a relatively low $15,240, and the Catholic liberal arts setting in Wichita offers a tight-knit community with just 857 undergrads. Worth considering if you're drawn to small, values-based schools and have a clear plan for staying on track — but ask hard questions about student support during your visit.
