Academics
This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. The 8:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. This is a private nonprofit two-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. The undergraduate body is just 55, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
