Academics
Six-year completion sits at 42%, meaning about three in five students who enroll leave without finishing. Retention of 71% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. The 11:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a private nonprofit four-year college, the relevant comparison is other four-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 621 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $4,665 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $6,392 at $0–30k against $4,665 at $30–48k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 93% of students get grant aid averaging $9,259, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. Federal borrowing reaches 28% of students.
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.
