Students most often pursue Economics and Political Science and Government. Day to day, students benefit from a 8:1 student-faculty ratio, 96.3% first-year retention, and 95.2% six-year graduation. Coaches and faculty advisors weave in frequent check-ins, helping students translate ambition into steady progress. Families typically invest $27,384, about $10,386 more than the national median. EDsmart calculates return on investment at -20.0%, roughly 105.3 points below typical outcomes. Six years after enrolling, alumni report median earnings of $87,603. That's about $43,915 higher than national results.
