Admissions

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

100% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. Retention of 67% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. The 2:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a private nonprofit two-year college, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. This is a small school — 18 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

Financial Aid

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 18 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

One gap to flag: this institution does not report an average net price, so the figures here describe who receives aid rather than what a year actually costs. Use the school's own net price calculator before comparing it against anywhere else. Grant aid reaches 67% of students at an average of $3,512. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 6% of students.

Federal student loans went to 1 of these 18 students, totalling $3,464 — an average of $3,464 each.
