Academics

Full-time retention
Transfer-out rate
Student:faculty
9:1

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. At 9:1, 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 426 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

Net price is not reported for this institution, which means there is no single what-you-pay number to compare — the aid participation rates below are the closest available proxy. Only 46% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. Borrowing is widespread: 67% take federal loans.

Federal student loans went to 287 of these 426 students, totalling $1,600,664 — an average of $5,577 each.
