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 73% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. At 12:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a public short-program institution, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. At 38 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 38 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $16,933 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $15,995 at $0–30k, $23,918 at $48–75k. 76% of students receive grant aid, averaging $6,473 — common but not automatic. Most students borrow — 97% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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.
