The institution enrolls a meaningful share of Pell-eligible and first-generation students on a residential liberal arts campus. The six-year graduation rate is 73.5%, with 73.6% of Pell-eligible students completing within the same window. First-year retention stands at 83.3%.

Low-income graduates earn a median of $61,800 on a historical ten-year Scorecard measure, placing this cohort in the 86.4 percentile for low-income graduate earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions.
