Academics
Six-year completion sits at 55%, meaning about one in two students who enroll leave without finishing. Just 0% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. At 2:1, 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. This is a small school — 87 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
