Admissions
75% of applicants get in, so the odds favor most reasonably prepared students. With 738 applicants, admissions statistics here move a lot on small changes. 22% of those admitted enroll, which is unremarkable in either direction. Read the score bands below narrowly: only 8% of enrolled first-years submitted an SAT score, and test-optional applicants are not represented in them.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| SAT Evidence-Based Reading | 523–578 | 10 (8%) |
| SAT Math | 483–555 | |
| ACT Composite | 20–26 | 14 (12%) |

67% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. 70% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. 25% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. At 8:1, 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 630 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $16,350 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $13,134 while those at $110k+ pay $22,048. Most students get help: 100% receive grants worth $22,281 on average. 86% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · 114 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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $13,134 |
| $30–48k | $13,286 |
| $48–75k | $14,768 |
| $75–110k | $19,119 |
| $110k+ | $22,048 |
