Academics

Full-time retention
Transfer-out rate
Student:faculty
12:1

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. The 12:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. At 58 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

No average net price is published here, so the cost side of this page is incomplete. Treat the participation rates as a signal about aid, not about price. Only 30% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 18% of students.

Federal student loans went to 10 of these 57 students, totalling $111,600 — an average of $11,160 each.
