Six-year completion sits at 65%, meaning about one in three students who enroll leave without finishing. Retention of 73% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. At 8:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. This is a small school — 273 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

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.
