Student:faculty
17:1

Completion is middling: 61% finish inside six years. Retention of 78% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. At 17:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 750 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price after grant aid is $27,119 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $20,555 while those at $110k+ pay $33,015. 85% of students get grant aid averaging $25,208, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. 42% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.

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.

Family income band Average net price
$0–30k $20,555
