The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 32% graduation rate and 63% freshman retention rate suggest many students struggle to finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively modest $13,992, and the net price of about $19,400/year is reasonable for a private university in a major metro area. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, faith-affiliated campus in Fort Worth and have a clear plan to stay on track, but come in with eyes open about the completion challenges.
