Admissions
72% of applicants get in, so the odds favor most reasonably prepared students. Only 1,228 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. About 21% of admitted students enroll, a yield in the normal range.

Completion is middling: 46% finish inside six years. Retention of 62% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. The 9:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 880 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $20,451 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $33,513 at $0–30k, $26,604 at $110k+. 100% of students get grant aid averaging $22,687, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. Federal borrowing reaches 49% of students.
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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $33,513 |
| $30–48k | $36,071 |
| $48–75k | $31,036 |
