Public College in Meadville, PA.
Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. 20% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. At 10:1, 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. This is a small school — 20 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24
At $11,239 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $9,651 at $0–30k against $10,580 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 86% of students get grant aid averaging $5,674, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. Most students borrow — 85% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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 | $9,651 |
| $30–48k | $13,952 |
| $48–75k | $10,580 |
