Six-year completion runs to 80% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. The 5:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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 38, 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 38 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. Grant aid is widespread — 100% of students receive it, averaging $7,840. 8% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.

Federal student loans went to 3 of these 38 students, totalling $19,301 — an average of $6,434 each.
