Academics
A six-year graduation rate of 32% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. First-year retention of 82% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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 545 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $5,818 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. The income table below is the number that matters — $5,566 at $0–30k versus $15,539 at $110k+. Grant aid is widespread — 91% of students receive it, averaging $7,876. 12% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.
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.
