A six-year graduation rate of 25% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. A 2:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. As a private nonprofit two-year college, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. The undergraduate body is just 29, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
