The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $18,508 average net price and low median debt of $12,000 are genuinely appealing, but a 47% graduation rate and 64% freshman retention rate suggest many students struggle to finish — worth asking hard questions about why. If you're drawn to a small, faith-affiliated campus in Montana with real affordability and don't mind a less selective environment (73% acceptance rate), this could work, but make sure you have a clear plan to stay on track. Median earnings of $47,100 after 10 years are modest, so students should think carefully about their chosen field and career prospects before committing.
