Only 32% finish within six years, so roughly two in three students leave without the credential. Just 46% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. At 17:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 573 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Students pay an average of $16,303 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($18,720 versus $25,938), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Most students get help: 95% receive grants worth $14,020 on average. About 33% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.

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 $18,720
$30–48k $17,784
$48–75k $20,001

$110k+ $25,938
