The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 34% graduation rate and 53% freshman retention rate suggest many students don't finish, which is a serious red flag worth pressing the school on before enrolling. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively low $12,500, and median earnings of $54,000 after 10 years are reasonable for a small private school in Kansas. Worth considering only if you have a specific reason to choose this school — a particular program, scholarship offer, or community fit — and go in with a clear plan to be one of the students who actually graduates.
