Completion is middling: 43% finish inside six years. Retention of 67% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. Retention and graduation track closely, so most of the attrition shows up in the first year rather than after it. A 13:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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 1,031 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $22,884 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The income table below is the number that matters — $17,863 at $0–30k versus $27,062 at $110k+. Grant aid is widespread — 98% of students receive it, averaging $23,408. 65% 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.

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 | $17,863 |
| $30–48k | $15,987 |
| $48–75k | $18,712 |
