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 of 66% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. A 11:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. At 56 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 56 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price averages $32,107 annually, so cost is the first thing to weigh here. Income makes less difference than usual: $30,435 at $0–30k, $33,246 at $75–110k. 82% of students receive grant aid, averaging $8,389 — common but not automatic. 61% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.
