Admissions

84% of applicants get in, so the odds favor most reasonably prepared students. The applicant pool is small at 180, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. 66% of admitted students actually enroll, which is a high yield by national standards. The score bands below rest on the 42% of enrolled first-years who submitted an SAT score — a self-selected group, and not a cutoff.

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

Six-year completion runs to 76% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. 85% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. At 19:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. 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 — 305 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

Financial Aid

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 273 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Net price lands at $16,692 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. 59% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,947 — common but not automatic.
