Yield rate
100.0%

Admission is not the constraint here: 100% of applicants are accepted. Only 4 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. A 100% yield rate puts this school in the upper range for admits who follow through.

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.

Student:faculty
12:1

100% 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. At 12:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. As a private nonprofit four-year college, the relevant comparison is other four-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. At 17 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
