Student:faculty
16:1

This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. The student-faculty ratio is 16:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. This is a private nonprofit short-program school, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. This is a small school — 285 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 285 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Students pay an average of $26,579 annually once grants are applied. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $15,199 while those at $110k+ pay $27,879. Grant aid is limited — 15% of students receive any. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 6% of students.

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 $15,199
$30–48k $35,846
$48–75k $25,189
