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. The 3:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a public four-year university, the relevant comparison is other four-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. This is a small school — 20 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 20 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Net price is not reported for this institution, which means there is no single what-you-pay number to compare — the aid participation rates below are the closest available proxy. Most students get help: 85% receive grants worth $5,976 on average. 60% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.

Federal student loans went to 12 of these 20 students, totalling $107,860 — an average of $8,988 each.
