Academics
No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. 37% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. At 10:1, 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. At 67 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 67 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $23,555 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $23,478 at $0–30k against $23,668 at $30–48k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 100% of students get grant aid averaging $5,635, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 22% of students.
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.

Net price by family income
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.
