Walla Walla University is a private Adventist university in College Place, Washington. The university has five campuses throughout the Pacific Northwest. It was founded in 1892 and is affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
A tight-knit Seventh-day Adventist university with a small campus feel, this is worth considering if you're aligned with its faith-based community and looking for a manageable debt load — graduates leave with a median of just $19,306 in debt, which is genuinely low. The 64% graduation rate is a real concern, though, meaning roughly one in three students who start don't finish, so ask hard questions about academic support before committing. Median earnings of $50,900 a decade out are decent but not exceptional, making that low debt figure the stronger part of the financial equation here.
