This small Catholic men's college in rural Minnesota (partnered with nearby Saint Benedict's for a coordinate experience) offers a genuinely accessible path — 90% acceptance — with median earnings of $67,100 a decade out and relatively modest debt of $23,250 at graduation, which is a reasonable return on investment. The 76% graduation rate is decent but not exceptional, meaning roughly 1 in 4 students don't finish, so it's worth asking what support systems are in place if a student hits academic or personal obstacles. Worth considering if a student thrives in a tight-knit, faith-influenced community and wants a liberal arts education without taking on crushing debt.
