Academics
Six-year completion runs to 67% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. 62% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about two in five are gone before sophomore year. The part-time picture is harder: 52% return, against 62% full-time. The student-faculty ratio is 19:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,522 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $16,988 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($13,923 versus $20,884), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid reaches 60% of students at an average of $4,926. Federal borrowing reaches 33% of students.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.

| $0–30k | $13,923 |
| $30–48k | $15,280 |
| $48–75k | $16,842 |
