Academics
Completion is middling: 56% finish inside six years. At 20:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. This is a public four-year university, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. The undergraduate population is 4,073 — big enough for a real range of programs, small enough to navigate.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 2,842 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $11,311 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $4,072 at $0–30k against $10,286 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 50% of students at an average of $3,496. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 2% 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.
