Admissions
An acceptance rate of 80% puts Hellenic College-Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology on the accessible end — a realistic target for a broad range of applicants. The applicant pool is small at 54, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. 26% of those admitted enroll, which is unremarkable in either direction.

44% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. Retention of 71% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. The distance between those two figures is the part worth noticing — students return for a second year at a much higher rate than they graduate, so attrition here is spread across the middle years rather than concentrated in the first. With 56% transferring out, this functions substantially as a stepping stone. 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 49 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $23,870 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($24,953 versus $29,993), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 100% of students get grant aid averaging $18,251, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. 51% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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.
