Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. Retention of 70% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. The part-time picture is harder: 33% return, against 70% full-time. At 28:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 4,892 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $19,775 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($19,643 versus $24,342), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid reaches 72% of students at an average of $6,318. Most students borrow — 68% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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 | $19,643 |
| $30–48k | $19,420 |
| $48–75k | $20,983 |
| $75–110k | $23,279 |
| $110k+ | $24,342 |
