Student:faculty
5:1

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. At 5:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. As a private nonprofit four-year college, the relevant comparison is other four-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. The undergraduate body is just 4, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 4 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

One gap to flag: this institution does not report an average net price, so the figures here describe who receives aid rather than what a year actually costs. Use the school's own net price calculator before comparing it against anywhere else. Only 25% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. Federal borrowing reaches 25% of students.

Federal student loans went to 1 of these 4 students, totalling $6,102 — an average of $6,102 each.
