40% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. Retention is weak: only 50% of full-time first-years return, so roughly one in two leave after one year. 40% of students transfer out, which reframes what the graduation rate above is measuring. The 3:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 253 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay $37,278 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($39,632 versus $26,463), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 75% get grants averaging $4,291, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 62% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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.

| $0–30k | $39,632 |
| $30–48k | $32,570 |
