Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. At 5:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a private nonprofit two-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. At 92 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
