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. Just 10% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. At 17:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. 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 — 183 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 183 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $1,531 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. The gap between the $0–30k and $30–48k bands is narrow ($2,065 versus $3,553), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 59% get grants averaging $5,016, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price.
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 | $2,065 |
| $30–48k | $3,553 |
