Academics
A six-year graduation rate of 0% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. Retention is strong at 100%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The distance between those two figures is the part worth noticing — students return for a second year at a much higher rate than they graduate, so attrition here is spread across the middle years rather than concentrated in the first. The 4:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 122 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $13,745 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. About 66% get grants averaging $4,510, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Federal borrowing reaches 31% 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.
