Student:faculty
12:1

No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. A 12:1 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 567 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 556 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

No average net price is published here, so the cost side of this page is incomplete. Treat the participation rates as a signal about aid, not about price. 69% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,202 — common but not automatic. 50% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.

Federal student loans went to 279 of these 556 students, totalling $2,470,783 — an average of $8,856 each.
