Academics
Six-year completion sits at 50%, meaning about one in two students who enroll leave without finishing. At 14:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. The undergraduate body is just 720, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 133 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay $51,174 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. Net price varies modestly by income — $45,723 at $0–30k against $45,973 at $30–48k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 53% get grants averaging $6,053, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 59% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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.
