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. Retention of 67% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. The 11:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a private nonprofit four-year college, the relevant comparison is other four-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 722 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $43,023 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $37,101 at the $0–30k band to $51,340 at $75–110k. 63% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,768 — common but not automatic. Borrowing is widespread: 82% 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

| $0–30k | $37,101 |
| $30–48k | $38,047 |
