Student:faculty

No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. 95% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. The student-faculty ratio is 19:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. This is a private nonprofit short-program school, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 125 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price after grant aid is $15,438 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $15,500 at $0–30k against $14,727 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 63% of students receive grant aid, averaging $11,906 — common but not automatic. About 40% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.

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.
