Yield rate
74.3%

Selectivity is real here: only 58% of applicants are offered a place. Only 60 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. 74% of admitted students actually enroll, which is a high yield by national standards.

Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)

These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

Academics

Full-time retention
80%
Transfer-out rate
Student:faculty
14:1

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. First-year retention of 80% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. The 14:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. This is a public short-program institution, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. The undergraduate body is just 70, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 70 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

At $5,132 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $4,838 at $0–30k against $7,113 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 64% of students at an average of $5,772.

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.
