The University of the Cumberlands is a private Christian university in Williamsburg, Kentucky, United States. Over 25,000 students are currently enrolled at the university.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $11,286 average net price is genuinely affordable, and graduates leave with remarkably low median debt at just $8,592, which is well below the national average. However, only 46% of students graduate, which means there's a real risk of paying for college without finishing — worth asking hard questions about academic support before enrolling. Worth considering if you're cost-conscious and have a clear plan to stay on track, but look closely at outcomes, since median earnings of $38,200 a decade out are modest.
