The university was founded in 1941 by John B. Wolfe, DC.
Worth considering if you're drawn to health sciences and want a focused, tight-knit program — the 100% graduation rate at a school of just 251 undergrads suggests strong student support and follow-through. The financial picture is genuinely reasonable: median debt of only $8,250 at graduation is well below average for private schools. The one honest caveat is that median earnings of $49,700 after 10 years are modest relative to the $29,794 annual net price, so make sure the specific career path you're targeting justifies the investment.
