Applicants

Yield rate
25.0%

Selectivity is real here: only 57% of applicants are offered a place. The applicant pool is small at 7, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. About 25% of admitted students enroll, a yield in the normal range.

Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)

These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

Student:faculty
8:1

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. The 8:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a private nonprofit four-year college, the relevant comparison is other four-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. At 27 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
