Southwestern Adventist University is a private Adventist university in Keene, Texas. It is owned by the Southwestern Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. The university enrolls about 800 students on a rural, 150-acre campus.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 41% graduation rate is a real concern, meaning fewer than half of students who start actually finish, and that's worth taking seriously before committing. On the upside, the average net price of $20,581/year is reasonable for a private school, and graduates earn a median of $47,100 a decade out — modest but manageable given the relatively low debt load of $21,500. Worth considering if you're specifically drawn to the Seventh-day Adventist faith community and small campus life, but ask hard questions about academic support and what's driving that low completion rate.
