Student:faculty
4:1

60% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. 25% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. A 4:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. This is a small school — 24 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 23 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price is $12,752 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Net price varies modestly by income — $9,958 at $0–30k against $12,897 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 83% of students receive grant aid, averaging $10,663 — common but not automatic.

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.
