Student:faculty
24:1

This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. 100% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. The 24:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. At 33 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 33 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $40,829 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Net price varies modestly by income — $40,575 at $0–30k against $37,946 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 67% get grants averaging $6,387, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Borrowing is widespread: 76% take federal loans.

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.

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.
