Academics
A six-year graduation rate of 0% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. 35% 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 100% transfer-out rate is high enough that a large share of this school's students are really passing through. A 10:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 123 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $16,467 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $14,499 at $0–30k against $19,762 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 72% get grants averaging $5,651, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 54% 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.

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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $14,499 |
| $30–48k | $18,140 |
| $48–75k | $14,956 |
