Lackawanna College

Scranton, PAPrivate nonprofitRank 1071 of 1,732

Heads-up: 28% of undergraduates here are part-time and 31% study fully online (IPEDS fall 2023). Large part-time, online or adult populations can make the later-years average look lower for reasons unrelated to freshman aid, so this college is left out of the default traditional ranking.
