About This School
Walnut Hill College is a private for-profit institution located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with approximately 127 undergraduate students enrolled. Walnut Hill College has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 95%. The average net price after financial aid is $33,578 per year. The graduation rate is 60%, and the typical graduate earns $38,800 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 36% freshman retention rate is a serious red flag, suggesting most students who start don't feel compelled to stay, and a 60% graduation rate compounds that concern. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively low $12,000, and the school's Philadelphia location and hospitality/culinary focus give it a specific identity that may appeal to students who know exactly what they want. Worth considering only if you've visited, connected with current students, and confirmed that this specialized career path justifies the $33,578 annual net price given median earnings of just $38,800 a decade out.
