Academics

Full-time retention
Transfer-out rate
28%
Student:faculty
22:1

Only 18% finish within six years, so roughly four in five students leave without the credential. 28% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. At 22:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. At 878 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 878 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

At $3,948 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $3,007 at $0–30k against $3,054 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 93% of students get grant aid averaging $8,009, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay.

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 $3,007
$30–48k $3,648
$48–75k $3,061
