Academics
A 80% 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. The student-faculty ratio is 18:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. The undergraduate body is just 651, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 651 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $23,505 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($21,490 versus $26,123), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 65% get grants averaging $5,316, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Borrowing is widespread: 64% 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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $21,490 |
| $30–48k | $24,267 |
| $48–75k | $24,479 |
