Completion is middling: 44% finish inside six years. 82% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. The distance between those two figures is the part worth noticing — students return for a second year at a much higher rate than they graduate, so attrition here is spread across the middle years rather than concentrated in the first. At 7:1, 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.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 52 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Net price lands at $21,166 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $12,336 at $0–30k against $20,013 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is widespread — 100% of students receive it, averaging $18,389.

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.
