Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low while staying in the Bentonville area — at just $5,719/year after aid and a median debt of only $5,500 at graduation, the financial risk here is genuinely minimal. The trade-off is that median earnings sit at $37,100 a decade out, which is modest, so this school makes the most sense as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer or a targeted career program rather than a final destination for big earning potential.
