A 70% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. Retention of 71% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 61% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled. The 9:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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 534 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $25,822 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($23,196 versus $29,816), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 84% get grants averaging $9,705, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Borrowing is widespread: 73% take federal loans.
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.

| $0–30k | $23,196 |
| $30–48k | $25,806 |
| $48–75k | $24,353 |
