Student:faculty
2:1

Six-year completion runs to 100% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. The 2:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. At 13 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 13 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

No average net price is published here, so the cost side of this page is incomplete. Treat the participation rates as a signal about aid, not about price. 62% of students receive grant aid, averaging $6,329 — common but not automatic. About 54% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.

Federal student loans went to 7 of these 13 students, totalling $55,175 — an average of $7,882 each.
