These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

Academics

44% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. Just 58% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. Retention and graduation track closely, so most of the attrition shows up in the first year rather than after it. A 14:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. As a private nonprofit four-year college, the relevant comparison is other four-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions.

Financial Aid

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24

Students pay $32,299 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($33,159 versus $35,419), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid is widespread — 100% of students receive it, averaging $15,870. Federal borrowing reaches 49% of students.

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.
