Admissions
This institution does not report first-year admission figures to IPEDS, often because admission is open.
Cost
Tuition and required fees are about $11,320 for full-time first-year students, the same for in-state and out-of-state students, which is typical of private institutions. Room and board are extra.
Cost after financial aid
The average net price — what students actually pay after grants and scholarships — is $10,833 per year for first-time, full-time students receiving Title IV aid.
| Family income | Average net price |
|---|---|
| Under $30,000 | $8,982 |
| $30,001–48,000 | $8,419 |
| $48,001–75,000 | $11,856 |
| $75,001–110,000 | $10,513 |
| Over $110,000 | $18,292 |
Net price falls as family income falls because need-based aid rises. These are 2022-23 figures reported to IPEDS; use them to compare institutions, and use each college's own net price calculator for a personal estimate.
Outcomes
Of the 199 first-time, full-time students in the 150% cohort, 20% completed their programme within 150% of normal time. That cohort definition matters: part-time students and transfers are not included, so a college that serves many of them can have a low reported rate while still graduating most of its students.
