71% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. First-year retention of 100% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. At 11:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 423 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay $46,633 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. Net price varies modestly by income — $45,032 at $0–30k against $46,647 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is limited — 20% of students receive any. 25% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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.

| $0–30k | $45,032 |
| $30–48k | $43,696 |
| $48–75k | $47,685 |
