A six-year graduation rate of 20% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. First-year retention is 75% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. The distance between those two figures is the part worth noticing — students return for a second year at a much higher rate than they graduate, so attrition here is spread across the middle years rather than concentrated in the first. A 20% transfer-out rate accounts for part of that gap: those students left for another institution rather than dropping out, and the graduation rate above counts them as non-completers here. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 573 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $20,899 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $25,080 at $0–30k against $33,051 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 53% of students receive grant aid, averaging $4,844 — common but not automatic. Borrowing is widespread: 83% 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.

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 | $25,080 |
| $30–48k | $41,023 |
| $48–75k | $41,081 |
| $75–110k | $44,446 |
| $110k+ | $33,051 |
