Academics
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. Retention of 73% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. At 4:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. 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 — 383 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 383 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $7,041 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Income makes less difference than usual: $5,338 at $0–30k, $8,576 at $48–75k. Grant aid is limited — 36% of students receive any.
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 | $5,338 |
| $30–48k | $7,954 |
| $48–75k | $8,576 |
