The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 65% graduation rate and 71% freshman retention suggest a meaningful share of students don't finish, which is worth probing before enrolling. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a reasonable $20,500, and the net price of $22,539/year is manageable for a private school. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, tight-knit campus and have a clear plan to stay on track, but ask the school directly what support systems exist to help students persist to graduation.
