67% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. 67% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. At 8:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. At 512 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 512 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $22,410 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $23,827 while those at $75–110k pay $31,961. 78% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,666 — common but not automatic. Most students borrow — 61% 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.
