Admissions
Selectivity is real here: only 52% of applicants are offered a place. The applicant pool is small at 63, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. Yield is high — 58% of admitted students go on to enroll, well above the typical rate.
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.
| Test | 25th–75th percentile | Submitted |

Academics
Completion is the problem here: 35% graduate within six years. First-year retention of 84% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. The distance between those two figures is the part worth noticing — students return for a second year at a much higher rate than they graduate, so attrition here is spread across the middle years rather than concentrated in the first. The 65% transfer-out rate is high enough that a large share of this school's students are really passing through. At 17:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 82 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $11,878 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $8,100 at $0–30k against $10,819 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 77% of students at an average of $7,783.
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 | $8,100 |
| $30–48k | $9,975 |
| $48–75k | $9,917 |
| $75–110k | $10,819 |
