The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 61% graduation rate and 75% freshman retention suggest a meaningful share of students don't finish, which is worth taking seriously before committing. That said, the median debt at graduation is a relatively modest $20,000, and UNE's health sciences programs give it a genuine niche if you're headed toward a healthcare career. Worth considering if you have a clear professional focus — less so if you're still figuring things out, since the outcomes data doesn't justify the $37,109 annual net price for undecided students.
