Student:faculty
15:1

Six-year completion runs to 100% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. A 15:1 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 285 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
