Academics
No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. Retention of 69% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. A 6:1 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 107 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $18,290 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $17,411 while those at $75–110k pay $30,044. Grant aid reaches 64% of students at an average of $9,699. 55% 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.
