Admissions
81% of applicants get in, so the odds favor most reasonably prepared students. 5,004 applications came in, enough to make the rates below reasonably stable year to year. Yield is low at 16%, so most admitted students do not end up enrolling. The score bands below rest on the 35% of enrolled first-years who submitted an SAT score — a self-selected group, and not a cutoff.

Six-year completion sits at 56%, meaning about two in five students who enroll leave without finishing. First-year retention is 76% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. At 15:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 2,404 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price averages $32,395 annually, so cost is the first thing to weigh here. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $21,733 while those at $110k+ pay $37,909. Grant aid is widespread — 99% of students receive it, averaging $12,172. Most students borrow — 56% 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.

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 | $21,733 |
| $30–48k | $23,129 |
| $48–75k | $25,521 |
| $75–110k | $29,663 |
| $110k+ | $37,909 |
