Student:faculty
8:1

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. The 8:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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 134, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 134 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. About 69% get grants averaging $2,648, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 100% take federal loans to cover the gap.

Federal student loans went to 134 of these 134 students, totalling $388,247 — an average of $2,897 each.
