Academics
Six-year completion runs to 82% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. At 20:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. The undergraduate body is just 1,966, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,966 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $23,033 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $30–48k bands is narrow ($22,935 versus $23,547), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 57% of students receive grant aid, averaging $9,867 — common but not automatic. Borrowing is widespread: 67% take federal loans.
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.
