Academics
54% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. Just 57% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. The student-faculty ratio is 21:1 — 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. The undergraduate body is just 270, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 270 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $2,985 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Income makes less difference than usual: $3,192 at $0–30k, $5,035 at $48–75k. Most students get help: 94% receive grants worth $6,869 on average. 24% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.
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.
