Only 38% finish within six years, so roughly three in five students leave without the credential. Retention is weak: only 40% of full-time first-years return, so roughly three in five leave after one year. A 14:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. At 379 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 379 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $20,378 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $19,996 at $0–30k against $22,850 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Most students get help: 96% receive grants worth $7,166 on average. Most students borrow — 84% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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.

| $0–30k | $19,996 |
| $30–48k | $18,153 |
