Graduating on time

Reported offenses per 1,000 students

111

Property offenses (2022–2024)

24

On-campus criminal offenses reported under the Clery Act, 2022–2024, across 3 campuses (724 students). Counts reflect reports, not convictions — schools with strong reporting cultures often show more, so a higher count doesn't simply mean a more dangerous campus.

Reported offenses in an average year

The same 2022–2024 Clery Act reports, divided down to one year.

Averages, not a forecast — a single year can run well above or below this. Bars are scaled against this campus's most-reported offense, so they compare types here rather than against other schools.
