Academics
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 strong at 86%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The 11:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a private nonprofit four-year college, the relevant comparison is other four-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. The undergraduate body is just 401, 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 399 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $20,645 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($20,682 versus $21,894), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Most students get help: 94% receive grants worth $7,346 on average. Most students borrow — 65% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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 | $20,682 |
| $30–48k | $20,586 |
| $48–75k | $21,991 |
