The numbers tell a mixed story here: the 60% graduation rate and $41,400 median earnings a decade out suggest this highly unconventional, all-Great-Books curriculum isn't for everyone and doesn't open obvious high-earning career paths. That said, the relatively low median debt of $13,500 limits your financial risk, and students who thrive are typically those who genuinely want to read Plato and Euclid rather than choose a major. Worth considering only if you're a self-directed, intellectually curious student who values ideas over credentials — but visit first, because the program is unlike anything else in American higher education.
