Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. 43% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. The 9:1 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. This is a small school — 21 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 21 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $16,008 annually once grants are applied. Income makes less difference than usual: $13,393 at $0–30k, $19,932 at $110k+. Grant aid is widespread — 100% of students receive it, averaging $9,210. Borrowing is widespread: 76% 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.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $13,393 |
| $30–48k | $15,001 |
| $48–75k | $11,266 |
