Admissions
71% of applicants get in, so the odds favor most reasonably prepared students. The applicant pool is small at 21, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. Yield is high — 80% of admitted students go on to enroll, well above the typical rate.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)
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.
| Test | 25th–75th percentile | Submitted |

The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. Retention of 61% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. A 14:1 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 85 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 85 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $8,373 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $9,425 at the $0–30k band to $26,150 at $110k+. Grant aid reaches 54% of students at an average of $7,837. Borrowing is widespread: 67% take federal loans.
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 | $9,425 |
| $30–48k | $6,270 |
| $48–75k | $26,150 |
