This is a solid option for students drawn to small liberal arts environments with a Catholic/Benedictine identity — a 90% freshman retention rate and 83% graduation rate suggest students who enroll tend to stick with it and finish. The median earnings of $63,200 at 10 years are respectable given the liberal arts focus, and the $26,987 median debt is relatively manageable, though the $34,744 average net price means you'll want to compare financial aid offers carefully before committing. Worth considering if you want a tight-knit New England campus experience without the pressure of a highly selective admissions process.
