Academics
This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. 88% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. 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. The undergraduate body is just 362, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 353 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $22,578 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $24,601 at $0–30k against $24,198 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 50% of students receive grant aid, averaging $4,223 — common but not automatic. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 22% of students.
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 | $24,601 |
| $30–48k | $25,950 |
| $48–75k | $24,102 |
