Academics

Full-time retention
Transfer-out rate
Student:faculty
7:1

No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. A 7:1 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. At 376 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

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. About 78% get grants averaging $10,751, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Federal borrowing reaches 52% of students.

Federal student loans went to 195 of these 376 students, totalling $2,239,990 — an average of $11,487 each.
