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 92%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. At 12:1, 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. This is a small school — 1,070 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 147 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $13,574 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $9,485 while those at $75–110k pay $20,281. 70% of students receive grant aid, averaging $6,466 — common but not automatic. Only 7% take federal loans. Private borrowing is not captured in this figure.
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 | $9,485 |
| $30–48k | $13,136 |
| $48–75k | $13,936 |
| $75–110k | $20,281 |
