Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable private college experience — the average net price of about $13,000 a year is genuinely competitive for a nonprofit institution. The small enrollment of 290 undergrads means you're unlikely to get lost in the crowd, which can be a real advantage for students who need closer attention and support. That said, research job placement and earnings carefully before committing, since $22,625 in median debt at graduation only makes sense if the programs you're interested in lead to solid career outcomes.
