Student:faculty
9:1

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. At 9:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. As a private nonprofit four-year college, the relevant comparison is other four-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. This is a small school — 26 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 26 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Net price is not reported for this institution, which means there is no single what-you-pay number to compare — the aid participation rates below are the closest available proxy. 58% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,452 — common but not automatic. About 54% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.

Federal student loans went to 14 of these 26 students, totalling $126,820 — an average of $9,059 each.
