The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 63% graduation rate and 72% freshman retention suggest that a meaningful chunk of students either leave or don't finish, which is worth asking about before enrolling. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively modest $19,500, and with nearly 80 undergraduate programs including strong health and equestrian studies offerings, there's real academic variety for a school this size. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, career-focused private college in the Midwest, but push the admissions office hard on support services and why students leave.
