Full-time retention
Transfer-out rate
Student:faculty
10:1

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. The 10:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. This is a small school — 221 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 158 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

No average net price is published here, so the cost side of this page is incomplete. Treat the participation rates as a signal about aid, not about price. Only 3% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. Only 1% take federal loans. Private borrowing is not captured in this figure.

Federal student loans went to 2 of these 158 students, totalling $11,000 — an average of $5,500 each.
