Taylor University is a private Christian university in Upland, Indiana. Founded in 1846, it is one of the oldest evangelical Christian universities in the United States.
This is a strong option for students seeking a tight-knit evangelical Christian community, with a 91% freshman retention rate signaling that most students who arrive actually want to stay. The financial picture is genuinely reasonable — median debt of $15,500 is well below average, and the $24,327 net price is manageable for a private school. The one honest concern is that median earnings of $42,600 a decade out are modest, so students pursuing careers in ministry, education, or nonprofit work will feel at home here, while those expecting a high salary payoff may want to weigh their options carefully.
