Academics
No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. Retention is strong at 100%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. A 16:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. This is a public short-program institution, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. At 29 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 29 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay $35,609 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($35,609 versus $38,189), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid reaches 72% of students at an average of $4,350. 100% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.

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.
