Academics
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. 100% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. At 10:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a public short-program institution, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. This is a small school — 121 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 121 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $21,512 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($20,921 versus $18,328), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 72% of students receive grant aid, averaging $7,082 — common but not automatic. 74% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.
