The University of Mount Saint Vincent (UMSV) is a private Catholic university in New York City. It was founded in 1847 by the Sisters of Charity of New York.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 57% graduation rate and 71% freshman retention suggest that a meaningful share of students don't make it through, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. On the brighter side, the average net price of around $19,920/year is reasonable for a private school in New York City, and median earnings of $61,000 a decade out with only $18,500 in median debt is a solid return. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, faith-based campus with an urban location and can commit to finishing — but ask hard questions about academic support and what's driving those departure numbers.
