The score bands below cover the middle 50% of the enrolled students who submitted a score — not the whole class, and not a cutoff.

80% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. Retention of 72% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. Transfer-out runs to 20% — common enough at this school that the completion rate is measuring a smaller group than the entering class. At 11:1, 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 232 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $19,523 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $21,580 at $0–30k against $25,133 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 66% of students receive grant aid, averaging $9,591 — common but not automatic. 58% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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 | $21,580 |
| $30–48k | $22,068 |
| $48–75k | $26,346 |
