Academics
Completion is the problem here: 32% graduate within six years. 15% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. At 14:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. 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 1,637, 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 1,087 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $8,601 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $5,594 at $0–30k against $12,847 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 53% of students at an average of $5,645. 32% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $5,594 |
| $30–48k | $7,025 |
| $48–75k | $7,078 |
| $75–110k | $10,741 |
| $110k+ | $12,847 |
