Student:faculty
3:1

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. Retention is strong at 80%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. At 3:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. At 21 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 21 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

At $814 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Income makes less difference than usual: $-513 at $0–30k, $6,804 at $48–75k. Grant aid is widespread — 95% of students receive it, averaging $12,883. 14% 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.

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.
