Academics
Completion is the problem here: 25% graduate within six years. 100% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. The 2:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 33 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $18,684 annually once grants are applied. Income makes less difference than usual: $17,274 at $0–30k, $20,095 at $30–48k. 67% of students receive grant aid, averaging $4,077 — common but not automatic. 76% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.
