Bridges Christian College
Private College in New Orleans, LA.
Academics
Only 0% finish within six years, so roughly nine in ten students leave without the credential. Just 50% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. 50% of students transfer out, which reframes what the graduation rate above is measuring. At 7:1, 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 110 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $18,709 annually once grants are applied. Income makes less difference than usual: $10,183 at $0–30k, $11,715 at $30–48k. Most students get help: 100% receive grants worth $2,419 on average.
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.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
