Six-year completion sits at 61%, meaning about two in five students who enroll leave without finishing. First-year retention is 78% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. Retention and graduation track closely, so most of the attrition shows up in the first year rather than after it. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. As a private nonprofit four-year college, the relevant comparison is other four-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,042 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price after grant aid is $23,528 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $20,283 at the $0–30k band to $34,864 at $110k+. 95% of students get grant aid averaging $21,555, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. Borrowing is widespread: 86% take federal loans.

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 $20,283
$30–48k $15,089
$48–75k $16,079
