Only 33% finish within six years, so roughly two in three students leave without the credential. First-year retention of 80% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. 33% of students transfer out, which reframes what the graduation rate above is measuring. A 12:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,316 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price averages $43,294 annually, so cost is the first thing to weigh here. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($38,904 versus $37,754), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 45% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. Most students borrow — 80% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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.
