Admission is not the constraint here: 92% of applicants are accepted. The applicant pool is small at 50, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. Yield is high — 70% of admitted students go on to enroll, well above the typical rate.

Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)

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

Full-time retention

Student:faculty
16:1

A 70% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. 57% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. The student-faculty ratio is 16:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. At 543 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 543 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price after grant aid is $22,065 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $21,600 at $0–30k against $28,132 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Most students get help: 93% receive grants worth $6,237 on average. Most students borrow — 80% 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.

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.
