69% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. 77% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. 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. The undergraduate body is just 518, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.

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.

| $0–30k | $14,121 |
| $30–48k | $14,439 |
| $48–75k | $16,036 |
