Academics
Six-year completion sits at 62%, meaning about two in five students who enroll leave without finishing. Retention of 64% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. 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. At 356 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 356 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $3,379 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($3,639 versus $6,589), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 87% of students get grant aid averaging $6,462, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 21% of students.
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.
