Academics
This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. At 10:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a public four-year university, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. The undergraduate body is just 559, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid

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. 78% of students receive grant aid, averaging $3,413 — common but not automatic. 62% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
Federal student loans went to 347 of these 559 students, totalling $3,128,275 — an average of $9,015 each.
