Admissions

Only 99 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. A 79% yield rate puts this school in the upper range for admits who follow through.

Completion is the problem here: 24% graduate within six years. 80% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. At 20:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 292 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $17,808 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $5,259 at the $0–30k band to $20,150 at $110k+. About 65% get grants averaging $8,609, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full 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.

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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $5,259 |
| $30–48k | $12,626 |
| $48–75k | $13,018 |
