Admissions

67% of applicants get in, so the odds favor most reasonably prepared students. Only 3 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. Yield is high — 50% of admitted students go on to enroll, well above the typical rate.

Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)

These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

Academics

100% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. 0% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. A 4:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. The undergraduate body is just 20, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.

Financial Aid

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24

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. 40% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
