Student:faculty
6:1

Six-year completion sits at 57%, meaning about two in five students who enroll leave without finishing. 43% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. The 6:1 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. The undergraduate body is just 62, 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 52 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Net price lands at $15,030 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Only 46% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price.

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.
