Student:faculty
15:1

This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. Retention is weak: only 54% of full-time first-years return, so roughly one in two leave after one year. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. This is a public short-program institution, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. This is a small school — 448 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 333 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Students pay an average of $11,369 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $5,513 at $0–30k against $8,770 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is widespread — 95% of students receive it, averaging $2,904.

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.
