Six-year completion runs to 87% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. 95% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. The 6:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a public four-year university, the relevant comparison is other four-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions.
