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. First-year retention of 92% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. Retention drops to 75% for part-time students, a gap worth weighing if full-time study is not realistic. The 8:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 206 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $19,205 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $22,742 at $0–30k against $28,252 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Only 44% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. 54% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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.
