The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 52% graduation rate means roughly half of students who start don't finish, and median earnings of $34,000 a decade out raise real questions about long-term return on investment. On the positive side, the average net price of $21,241 and relatively modest debt at graduation ($19,500) keep financial risk lower than at many comparable schools. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, intimate campus and have a clear plan for staying enrolled — but it's fair to ask hard questions about why so many students leave before finishing.
