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. First-year retention is 73% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. A 20:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. This is a public short-program institution, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. The undergraduate body is just 673, 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 673 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $13,078 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Grant aid reaches 54% of students at an average of $5,525. Most students borrow — 61% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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.
