Admissions
Immaculata University admits 86% of applicants — effectively open admission, so the application is a formality rather than a hurdle. 2,571 applications came in, enough to make the rates below reasonably stable year to year. A 13% yield rate is low: the admitted pool is much larger than the entering class. 8% of enrolled first-years submitted an SAT score. The bands below describe the middle half of that group, not of the class.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)

71% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. Retention is strong at 83%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. Transfer-out runs to 21% — common enough at this school that the completion rate is measuring a smaller group than the entering class. A 11:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,265 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $24,708 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $20,539 while those at $110k+ pay $28,997. About 81% get grants averaging $16,254, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 61% 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.

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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $20,539 |
| $30–48k | $19,694 |
| $48–75k | $19,150 |
