The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $8,624/year net price and $13,565 in median debt, this is one of the more affordable paths to a degree in Texas, and a 77% acceptance rate makes it accessible for a wide range of applicants. However, the 27% graduation rate and 61% freshman retention rate are genuine red flags — most students who start here don't finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. Worth considering if you have a clear plan, strong self-discipline, and need to keep costs low, but come in with eyes open about the completion challenges.
