Academics
A 87% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. Retention is strong at 89%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. Transfer-out runs to 13% — common enough at this school that the completion rate is measuring a smaller group than the entering class. At 12:1, 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 69 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $15,025 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Grant aid reaches 74% of students at an average of $7,918.
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.
