Student:faculty
21:1

Completion is the problem here: 35% graduate within six years. The student-faculty ratio is 21:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. With 6,118 undergraduates, the school sits in the middle of the size distribution.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 5,836 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Net price lands at $16,523 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $16,298 at $0–30k, $21,757 at $110k+. About 58% get grants averaging $6,143, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 55% 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.
