Student:faculty
14:1

A six-year graduation rate of 25% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. The 14:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. At 281 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 281 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

At $12,978 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 ($11,001 versus $14,080), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 69% of students receive grant aid, averaging $6,849 — common but not automatic. 77% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.

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.
