67% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. 80% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. Retention and graduation track closely, so most of the attrition shows up in the first year rather than after it. At 10:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. 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 694 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price averages $53,700 annually, so cost is the first thing to weigh here. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $43,305 while those at $110k+ pay $59,075. 81% of students receive grant aid, averaging $20,647 — common but not automatic. Only 9% take federal loans. Private borrowing is not captured in this figure.
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.
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · 157 students
Net price by family income
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $43,305 |
| $30–48k | $50,308 |
| $48–75k | $42,430 |
| $75–110k | $52,658 |
| $110k+ | $59,075 |
