A six-year graduation rate of 20% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. 48% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. The 55% transfer-out rate is high enough that a large share of this school's students are really passing through. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 684 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $25,613 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($24,574 versus $29,357), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 97% of students get grant aid averaging $12,940, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. 53% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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.
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · 196 students
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $24,574 |
| $30–48k | $24,633 |
| $48–75k | $27,082 |
| $75–110k | $28,590 |
