Student:faculty
9:1

A six-year graduation rate of 22% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. Retention is weak: only 50% of full-time first-years return, so roughly one in two leave after one year. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. A 9:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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 259 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price after grant aid is $21,455 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The income table below is the number that matters — $14,934 at $0–30k versus $26,928 at $110k+. Grant aid reaches 58% of students at an average of $5,513. 73% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.

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.
