The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 47% graduation rate means fewer than half of students finish, which is a real concern worth asking the school directly about. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a low $12,500, and the small Catholic campus in Great Falls may genuinely suit students who want personal attention and a faith-based environment. Worth considering if you're confident in your commitment to finishing and are drawn to the mission — but go in with eyes open about the retention challenges.
