Academics

Full-time retention
81%
Transfer-out rate
1%
Student:faculty
26:1

Only 39% finish within six years, so roughly three in five students leave without the credential. Retention is strong at 81%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. At 26:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 3,002 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

At $9,062 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Income makes less difference than usual: $8,543 at $0–30k, $12,612 at $75–110k. Grant aid is widespread — 90% of students receive it, averaging $6,345. 12% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.

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.
