Academics
100% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. Retention is strong at 100%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The 9:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. At 189 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
