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. Retention is weak: only 58% of full-time first-years return, so roughly two in five leave after one year. The 10:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. This is a public short-program institution, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. The undergraduate body is just 67, 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 67 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $11,651 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($12,831 versus $9,551), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid is widespread — 94% of students receive it, averaging $5,911. About 31% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $12,831 |
| $30–48k | $5,719 |
| $48–75k | $11,160 |
| $75–110k | $9,551 |
