Student:faculty
15:1

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. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. The undergraduate body is just 57, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 57 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

One gap to flag: this institution does not report an average net price, so the figures here describe who receives aid rather than what a year actually costs. Use the school's own net price calculator before comparing it against anywhere else. 58% of students receive grant aid, averaging $13,229 — common but not automatic. 63% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.

Federal student loans went to 36 of these 57 students, totalling $381,588 — an average of $10,600 each.
