Academics
This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. A 35:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. This is a public short-program institution, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. At 35 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 35 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $18,371 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Most students get help: 100% receive grants worth $3,987 on average. Most students borrow — 89% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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.
