Student:faculty
10:1

44% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. The 10:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. This is a small school — 117 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
