Admissions
With an acceptance rate of 91%, Boston Baptist College takes nearly everyone who applies. Only 11 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. A 10% yield rate is low: the admitted pool is much larger than the entering class.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)

A six-year graduation rate of 14% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. 33% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. 29% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. At 6:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 31 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $17,933 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($19,546 versus $21,995), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid is widespread — 100% of students receive it, averaging $6,500. Federal borrowing reaches 45% of students.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.
