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. The 10:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a private nonprofit short-program school, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. This is a small school — 340 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
