Academics
This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. Retention is strong at 89%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. At 9:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a public short-program institution, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. At 110 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 110 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $14,915 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($13,484 versus $19,191), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 72% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,740 — common but not automatic. Borrowing is widespread: 79% take federal loans.
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $13,484 |
| $30–48k | $13,184 |
| $48–75k | $12,088 |
| $75–110k | $19,066 |
| $110k+ | $19,191 |
