Southwestern Christian College (SwCC) is a private historically black Christian college in Terrell, Texas.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: with a 49% graduation rate and median earnings of just $29,500 a decade after enrollment, students should think carefully about the return on investment before committing. That said, the $16,870 average net price makes it one of the more affordable private college options, and for students seeking a tight-knit HBCU community grounded in Christian faith, the small 128-person enrollment means you won't get lost in the crowd. Worth considering if the faith-based, historically Black college experience aligns with your values — but go in with a clear plan to finish and a realistic look at career outcomes.
