Student:faculty
19:1

Six-year completion runs to 70% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. 75% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. A 19:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. As a private nonprofit two-year college, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. This is a small school — 1,259 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,259 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Students pay an average of $11,706 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Income makes less difference than usual: $11,697 at $0–30k, $12,055 at $30–48k. Most students get help: 86% receive grants worth $4,263 on average.

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.

The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
