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. 44% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. The student-faculty ratio is 16:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. 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 — 34 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 34 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $25,389 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $30–48k bands is narrow ($26,166 versus $23,370), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 82% get grants averaging $5,731, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Borrowing is widespread: 82% take federal loans.
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.
