Academics
A 100% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. Retention is strong at 100%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. A 5:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. This is a small school — 43 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 43 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $37,410 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Net price varies modestly by income — $30,023 at $0–30k against $37,368 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 63% get grants averaging $2,617, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Federal borrowing reaches 33% of students.
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.
