Transfer-out rate
Student:faculty
7:1

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 7:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. This is a public four-year university, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. The undergraduate body is just 1,374, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,374 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

No average net price is published here, so the cost side of this page is incomplete. Treat the participation rates as a signal about aid, not about price. 47% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. About 43% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.

Federal student loans went to 596 of these 1,374 students, totalling $4,669,924 — an average of $7,835 each.
