No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. Retention is strong at 94%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. 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 37, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 37 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Students pay an average of $6,650 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $2,482 at $0–30k against $7,882 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 57% get grants averaging $7,846, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price.

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 $2,482
$30–48k $6,982
$48–75k $7,882
