These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

Academics

83% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. Retention is strong at 88%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. A 13:1 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. With 2,365 undergraduates, the school sits in the middle of the size distribution.
