About This School

Tabor College has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 65%. The average net price after financial aid is $19,868 per year.

Tabor College may refer to:Tabor College (Iowa), a defunct institution formerly located in Iowa Tabor College (Kansas), a four-year Christian liberal arts institution in Kansas Tabor College, Australia

The numbers tell a mixed story here: the 33% graduation rate is a serious red flag, meaning roughly two-thirds of students who start here don't finish, and the 66% freshman retention rate suggests many leave after just one year. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively low $14,000, and the $19,868 average net price is reasonable for a small Christian liberal arts community that offers a tight-knit, faith-centered environment. Worth considering only if you're genuinely drawn to the Mennonite Brethren mission and have a clear plan to persist — but look hard at why so many students are leaving before committing.
