Academics
A 67% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. 50% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. With 33% transferring out, this functions substantially as a stepping stone. At 6:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. As a private nonprofit four-year college, the relevant comparison is other four-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 40 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $19,784 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. 83% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,979 — common but not automatic. 13% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.
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.
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · 4 students
Federal student loans went to 5 of these 40 students, totalling $21,558 — an average of $4,312 each.
