Academics
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. Retention is strong at 94%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. A 6:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. This is a public short-program institution, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. This is a small school — 449 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 449 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $2,423 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Grant aid is widespread — 88% of students receive it, averaging $2,999. About 33% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.
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.
