Academics
No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. 69% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. At 15:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. 2,370 undergraduates makes this a mid-sized institution.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 2,370 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $15,663 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $14,850 at $0–30k against $21,223 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 60% of students at an average of $6,510. Federal borrowing reaches 53% 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.
