Admissions
83% of applicants get in, so the odds favor most reasonably prepared students. 7,050 applications came in, enough to make the rates below reasonably stable year to year. A 11% yield rate is low: the admitted pool is much larger than the entering class. Read the score bands below narrowly: only 16% of enrolled first-years submitted an SAT score, and test-optional applicants are not represented in them.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)
These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.
| Test | 25th–75th percentile | Submitted |
|---|---|---|
| SAT Evidence-Based Reading | 580–670 | 102 (16%) |
| SAT Math | 580–660 | |
| ACT Composite | 25–30 | 11 (2%) |

Six-year completion runs to 73% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. Retention is strong at 84%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The 12:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. 2,566 undergraduates makes this a mid-sized institution.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 2,446 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $23,702 annually once grants are applied. The income table below is the number that matters — $14,535 at $0–30k versus $27,034 at $110k+. Grant aid is widespread — 92% of students receive it, averaging $27,749. Most students borrow — 67% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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.

| $0–30k | $14,535 |
| $30–48k | $18,468 |
| $48–75k | $21,107 |
