Academics
Only 21% finish within six years, so roughly four in five students leave without the credential. 17% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. At 12:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. The undergraduate body is just 542, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 532 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $4,431 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($3,571 versus $7,049), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid is widespread — 98% of students receive it, averaging $13,674.
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.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $3,571 |
| $30–48k | $4,061 |
| $48–75k | $2,284 |
