ℹ️ A note about this profile

Beacon College doesn't publish standardized-test bands or admit-rate data to IPEDS. That usually means the institution is open-admission (no selectivity gate), graduate-focused, or small enough that the federal survey suppresses the numbers. What we do have below: published tuition, average net price, enrollment, degrees awarded by major. If you had a different, more selective institution in mind, the search at the top of the page will find it.

Parent/student verdict

Selectivity unknown

Expect a high net price across most income brackets.

Best for

  • Students drawn to Computer & Information Sciences or Multi/Interdisciplinary Studies (the two biggest majors)
  • Families wanting a small liberal-arts experience

The reality

  • High cost — aid-receiving families average ~$53,517/yr, and without aid the price runs higher — verify the major's earnings track record before committing

Verdict is composed from this college's structured data (admit rate, SAT bands, net price with aid and at full price, Carnegie classification, scholarship grids) using transparent rule thresholds — not a chat-bot's opinion.

Which side your family lands on isn't set by any national income line — it's set by Beacon College's own aid decision: the gap between its price and your family's finances.

Source: College Scorecard (average net price among Title IV first-time, full-time undergraduates who received aid) and each college's published cost of attendance. We don't show the federal net-price-by-income brackets: their categories were fixed in 2008 and never adjusted, and none of the averages is your family's own number — the full story. Payoff = (10-yr median earnings × 10) − (4 years of cost), in dollars — how far ahead a typical graduate runs by year ten; medians travel with the students a college admits and the majors they choose as much as with the college itself. Full price is the published cost of attendance; earnings are 10 years after enrollment, all majors combined.
