Admissions

Admission is not the constraint here: 100% of applicants are accepted. Only 45 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. 100% of admitted students actually enroll, which is a high yield by national standards.

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.

Academics

Only 23% finish within six years, so roughly three in four students leave without the credential. First-year retention of 91% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. 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. 75% of students transfer out, which reframes what the graduation rate above is measuring. At 18:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution.

Financial Aid

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 161 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price is $13,531 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Net price varies modestly by income — $11,301 at $0–30k against $14,752 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 79% get grants averaging $8,045, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price.

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.
