The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $13,630/year net cost and only $11,000 in median debt at graduation, this small Presbyterian-affiliated school in Arkansas is genuinely affordable, which matters. But the 52% graduation rate is a real concern — fewer than half of students who start here finish — and median earnings of $38,600 a decade out suggest limited career lift for most graduates. Worth considering if you're drawn to a tight-knit international community (students from 25 countries) and need to minimize debt, but go in with eyes open about the odds of completing your degree.
