Student:faculty
8:1

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. At 8:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. The undergraduate body is just 22, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.

One gap to flag: this institution does not report an average net price, so the figures here describe who receives aid rather than what a year actually costs. Use the school's own net price calculator before comparing it against anywhere else. Only 27% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. 23% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.

Federal student loans went to 5 of these 22 students, totalling $19,200 — an average of $3,840 each.
