Transfer-out rate
Student:faculty
9:1

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. Retention is strong at 100%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. At 9:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a private nonprofit short-program school, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. At 16 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

No average net price is published here, so the cost side of this page is incomplete. Treat the participation rates as a signal about aid, not about price. Grant aid reaches 75% of students at an average of $4,620. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 13% of students.

Federal student loans went to 2 of these 16 students, totalling $14,103 — an average of $7,052 each.
