Admissions
Admission is not the constraint here: 100% of applicants are accepted. The applicant pool is small at 21, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. Yield is high — 100% 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 |
|---|---|---|
| SAT Evidence-Based Reading | — | — |
| SAT Math | — | |
| ACT Composite | — | — |

Academics
Only 0% finish within six years, so roughly nine in ten students leave without the credential. 97% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. With 100% transferring out, this functions substantially as a stepping stone. The student-faculty ratio is 17:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 93 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $17,780 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $14,504 at $0–30k against $6,160 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 66% of students at an average of $6,463.
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 | $14,504 |
| $30–48k | — |
| $48–75k | $5,950 |
