The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 93% acceptance rate and low median debt of $12,548 make it accessible and relatively affordable, but a 69% graduation rate and 73% freshman retention rate suggest a meaningful chunk of students either leave or struggle to finish. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, faith-based environment in Houston and have a clear academic plan, since the $59,600 median earnings are solid but only meaningful if you actually cross the finish line.
