Historical undergraduate admissions
Fall 2016 · first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate applicants.
Reported enrolled first-time undergraduates: 176.
Compare reported admission years
These first-time undergraduate populations are separate reporting periods. Admission rate is admitted ÷ applicants; enrollment yield is enrolled ÷ admitted. Neither percentage is an individual admission probability.
| Fall year | Applicants | Admitted | Enrolled | Admission rate | Enrollment yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2016 | 416 | 286 | 176 | 68.8% | 61.5% |
| 2015 | 506 | 334 | 215 | 66.0% | 64.4% |
| 2014 | 512 | 392 | 215 | 76.6% | 54.8% |
Calculated as admitted ÷ applicants. This institution-wide historical figure is not a personal admission probability, international-student rate, transfer rate or program-specific rate. Open-admission institutions may not report this survey.

Fields with reported graduates
Historical IPEDS completions, first major. Reporting years are labeled per record. Verify current program availability and degree names on the institution’s website.
No positive first-major completions matched the connected dataset. This does not establish that no programs are offered.
Published first-year retention
Connected EF part-D observations concern prior-fall first-time degree/certificate-seeking cohorts assessed a year later. NCES describes persistence or completion; four-year institutions' cohorts are bachelor-seeking. Entry study status remains the grouping even if a student later changes between full- and part-time.
| Entry cohort → assessment | Full-time source rate | Adjusted full-time cohort | Part-time source rate | Adjusted part-time cohort |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fall 2015 → 2016 | 58% · R | 36 | 0% · R | 1 |
| Fall 2014 → 2015 | 68% · R | 81 | 33% · R | 3 |
| Fall 2013 → 2014 | 50% · R | 50 | 50% · R | 2 |
| Fall 2012 → 2013 | 62% · R | 53 | 0% · R | 3 |
| Fall 2011 → 2012 | 68% · R | 72 | 50% · R | 2 |
| Fall 2010 → 2011 | 58% · R | 65 | 0% · R | 1 |
Percentages are retained from the source rather than recalculated. R means reported; P means carried forward. Other source flags remain in the evidence. Missing rates remain unavailable and a published 0% remains zero. These are institution-level historical observations, not programme graduation rates, current service-quality rankings or individual predictions.
