We are rebuilding how students share their experiences, so for now this page shows only the federal numbers and our written summaries. Check back soon.
Why it is good
- 77% of students graduate, better than 84% of four-year colleges.
- It beats expectations: it graduates 45 points more students than is typical for a college enrolling the same share of low-income students (77% against an expected 31%; the estimate is rough, with a typical error of about 16 points).
- Students stay: 94% of first-year students return for a second year, better than 92% of four-year colleges.
- Affordable: the average student pays about $5,694 a year after grants, cheaper than 97% of four-year colleges.
Why it is bad
- Low pay: typical earnings ten years after starting are $31,810, lower than 98% of four-year colleges.
The numbers
What these figures measure
Graduation rate: share of all students, full-time or part-time, who finish within 8 years. Return for year 2: share of first-time, full-time students who come back for a second year. Earnings: median pay about 10 years after starting, for students who received federal aid. Debt: median federal loan debt among those who finish. Net price: average yearly cost after grants and scholarships. All from the U.S. Education Department College Scorecard, institution file dated November 2, 2026.
Programs and early earnings
Bachelor's degrees: largest programs
| Field | Graduates a year | Earnings, 2 yrs after | Debt |
|---|---|---|---|
| Religion/Religious Studies | 403 | $18,074 | n/a |
Earnings are the median pay two years after completing, for graduates who were working and not enrolled again. The federal government hides figures for small programs, shown as n/a. Fields are broad groups, so a college may offer several majors inside one.
